- Abstract
The article offers information on autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a severe social-cognitive impairment that affects seven out of 1000 children. Studies reveal that early detection of the disease can provide better treatment results. Therefore for early detection of the disease checklist for autism in toddlers (CHAT) was developed to identify autism before 18 months, however it is found that even with CHAT in a child health care it did not improve early identification of the disease.
