Early Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders in Children

In recent years, the prevalence of autistic disorders has increased significantly - from 16 to 56 per 10,000 children. Without specialized help, up to 95-97% of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) become severely mentally disabled. The vast majority of these children require systematic correctional assistance. Most patients with autism associated with mental retardation require social and educational support throughout their lives.
