ABSTRACT

Background. Early detection of autism is a decisive variable for a better prognosis.
Methods. A study was conducted describing the process of detection and diagnosis of 42 children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
Results. Parents are those who initially suspect the presence of a disorder at about the age of 22 months. The most common warning signs include behavior described as appearing absent, lack of language, and motor delays. Five different health care professionals are involved in the detection process. The pediatric neurologist and psychologist are the professionals who most frequently diagnose ASD between 3 and 5 years of age. Diagnoses given to the families include intellectual disability, attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity, and developmental delay.
Conclusions. The results of the study show the importance of training health care professionals, leading to the early detection and intervention of ASD.
