It doesn't make sense why a screening mechanism for Autism was not introduced years ago. This is a pediatric problem that didn't develop yesterday and has been growing ever since. I realise some of the objections to having screening for such a difficult condition to diagnose, is the fear of false positives. But rather be over cautious than let time pass and not capitalise on the precious advantage of early detection. It's about time AAP got their act together!
