Childcare centers may be an alternative setting for autism screening, especially for children most vulnerable to late diagnosis because of cultural or socioeconomic factors or limited access to healthcare.
“Thus, childcare centers may be an alternative setting for autism screening (Branson et al., 2008), especially for children who are most vulnerable to being diagnosed late because of cultural or socioeconomic factors, or limited access to healthcare.”

Childcare teachers may provide a helpful perspective about children's behavior and development because they regularly observe children's play, are familiar with the usual behavior of children in their group, can observe peer interactions, and have knowledge and training in child development.
“Childcare teachers may provide a helpful perspective about children’s behavior and development, given that they regularly observe children’s play (Branson et al., 2008; Mitchell & Locke, 2015), are familiar with the usual behavior of children in their group, can observe children’s interactions with peers, and have knowledge and training in child development.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
