Questionnaire completed by parents may help identify one-year-olds at risk for autism

Questionnaire completed by parents may help identify one-year-olds at risk for autism: Researchers have found that 31 percent of children identified as at risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) at 12 months received a confirmed diagnosis of ASD by age 3 years. In addition, 85 percent of the children found to be at risk for ASD based on results from the First Year Inventory (FYI), a 63-item questionnaire filled out by their parents, had some other developmental disability or concern by age three.
