Pathways to diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Modelled after Levy and colleagues See Tables 1 and 2 for a list of red flags and other investigations, respectively. *At this stage, we refer to generic rather than ASD-specific services. The services may be called “Early Intervention,” “Infant Development Programs,” “Early Childhood Intervention Programs” or “Early Childhood Intervention Services” depending on the jurisdiction. Note: ADOS = Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, DSM = Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
