Early Identification of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Using 3 Metrics

Note: In the first panel, the gray line indicates the age in months at which 50% of children with recorded autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis or special education eligibility were identified (median among identified children). In the second panel, the line indicates the age in months at which 50% of children with and without recorded ASD were identified (median including unidentified children). In the third panel, the line indicates cumulative incidence of ASD identified by age 48 months per 1,000 children. Data are from the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network from 2002–2016.
