Most professionals may be a bit reluctant to provide a diagnosis at that age, but they can identify the pattern of strengths and weakness that could help him/her receive the best intervention at this time. Thank you. Nestor. Hi Naomi, at 30-months a local pediatric neuropsychologist or autism specialist could provide an evaluation that could guide you in obtaining the necessary services.

I am caring for a child who is believed to have been neglected for 15 months and at 30 months continues to have significant delays in speech, coordination, and social development. Is there a reliable tool you are aware of to determine if the child has an autism spectrum disorder versus continued delay due to maltreatment? Very interesting article Dr. Lopez-Duran.

She noted that there is recent research in the US and UK stating that children can be, as she stated "picked up as at risk" for autism, at the age 12-24 months old. She was clear to state that this was not to say these would be always accurate, but it would be say a marker for close observation for that child. Do you know of anything regarding the research she speaks of? This new research article you present here seems to be adding to that body of agreement.

I'm sure I will enjoy Michigan. I went to graduate school there and coming back to join the faculty feels like coming back home. :) Cheers, Nestor. Thank you Brandon for your comment.

Mr. Lopez I hope you enjoy coming to the U of M. I am in the Adult Autism Social Group up there, so I know some of the researchers. I find the ADOS-T very interesting I will be sure to ask Katie Gotham more about it. Very interesting. Mr. Lopez I hope you enjoy coming to the U of M.
