Such screening instruments could be more useful for identifying possible signs and symptoms of ASD in high-risk populations, for example in young children with older siblings with ASD, or in those referred for speech or other developmental concerns to community paediatric services.
“In general, such instruments could be more useful for identifying possible signs and symptoms of ASD in high-risk populations, for example in young children with older siblings with ASD 150 , or in those referred for speech or other developmental concerns to community paediatric services 151”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredWhen pediatricians and ASD specialty clinics work together, risk detection and diagnostic evaluation can occur as early as 12 to 20 months, and interventions soon thereafter.
“Studies show that when pediatricians and ASD specialty clinics work together, risk detection and diagnostic evaluation can occur as early as 12 to 20 months, and interventions soon thereafter [179, 181].”

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.
