Detailed explanation-1: -Formal evaluation takes a more in-depth look at your child’s development. A trained specialist, such as a child psychologist or a developmental-behavioral pediatrician, will observe your child and give them a structured autism spectrum test. They’ll also ask you questions and have you fill out questionnaires.
Detailed explanation-2: -Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be difficult because there is no medical test, like a blood test, to diagnose the disorder. Doctors look at the child’s developmental history and behavior to make a diagnosis. ASD can sometimes be detected at 18 months of age or younger.
Detailed explanation-3: -Using DSM-IV, patients could be diagnosed with four separate disorders: autistic disorder, Asperger’s disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, or the catch-all diagnosis of pervasive developmental dis-order not otherwise specified.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Adult Repetitive Behavior Questionnaire was developed by researchers in Wales and is the best-researched tool of its kind.
