Given the preponderance of evidence that early intervention leads to better outcomes for children with autism spectrum disorder, isn't it important to identify these children as early as possible? This week we review research in identifying early indicators of ASD in children, charting the course from preschool, to first-birthday parties, to TV-watching infants. It's the most adorable-sounding research we've ever discussed.
