This week, a little longer #ASFpodcast on a topic that deserves a little extra attention: screening for ASD. Some media click-bait driven headlines have made it seem like screening for autism is a waste of time for parents, doctors and care providers. That’s FAKE NEWS! We talk to Whitney Guthrie from CHOP and Diana Robins from Drexel about recent studies that cast doubt on common screening tools, why doctors may not be administering them the same way all the time and how that makes a difference, the importance of screening and data that shows that it does help toddlers with ASD maximize their full potential.
