Abstract

Abstract: Early intervention is vital for improved health outcomes in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Innovations that support primary care providers' management of ASD are needed. The conclusion of this series outlines a research pilot program testing the usability of an author-developed clinical practice guideline for the initial management of pediatric patients at risk for ASD.
