Abstract
CANAL BEDIA, Ricardo et al. Early detection of autism. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2006, vol.15, n.1, pp.29-47. ISSN 2173-4712.
Autism is a serious disorder of child growth, stemming from the pre-natal stage and enduring the whole life. During the past decade a lot of studies have provided information about how to detect autism at an early stage. There is a growing acknowledgment that todays early detection improves autism prognosis. This paper reviews the advantages of early detection and assistance; outlines early autism signs and describes early detection tools. Finally, the paper addresses the screening schedule undertaken in Castille and Leon, concluding that coordination between professionals and social sensitization and involvement are among the key aspects to improve autism detection in our country.
