The article discusses the study which examines the factors associated with the changing age of diagnosis for autism across successive birth corhorts at the individual and at the community levels. The researchers have used the large and racially diverse state of California to sample the factors in ...
Early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is highly important as it enables an early start to intervention. The current study examined familial (parental ages; education; having an older sibling) and child (gender; reported and observed autism symptoms severity; adaptive skills) related vari...
Introduction The mean age of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis varies globally and the factors affecting it are inconsistent across populations and studies. Aim Quantitative research was undertaken to investigate the age ASD was diagnosed and some possibly related factors, in a sample from Maced...
Girls are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) later than boys, possibly because females exhibit less severe symptoms, according to a study to be presented Tuesday, April 28 at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in San Diego.

openly discussed the tampering of MMR science to downplay (eradicate) the signal that African American toddlers were at a higher risk for an autism diagnosis based on when they received the vaccine. Avonte Oquendo died in the ice cold East River in New York after bolting from his autism sch...
Children aged eight years with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and an IQ of less than or equal to 70, indicating a co-occurring intellectual disability, had a median initial diagnosis age of 48 months in the state of Georgia.
In a simple additive logistic regression for best-estimate autism diagnosis at age 9 years, all 3 diagnostic measures at age 2 years made an independent contribution to prediction, with a partial OR of 3.4 (95% CI, 1.6-7.3) (P = .001) for the ADI-R; partial OR of 2.4 (95% CI, ...
After adjustment for differences in the socio-demographic profiles of the two groups, the diagnosis age differentials were greatly attenuated and there were no differences in autism symptomatology. Thus, ascertainment issues related to SES, not ART per se, are likely the driving influence of the ...
