Journal ArticleDOI
Examination of the time between first evaluation and first autism spectrum diagnosis in a population-based sample.
TL;DR: It is found that children with ASD identified by the surveillance system were initially evaluated at a mean of 48 months but were not diagnosed with ASD until a mean age of 61 months, although degree of impairment associated with ASD predicted mean age at first evaluation and mean ageat first ASD diagnosis.
