This week in the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, pediatrician Dan Coury takes issue with the recent equivocation on universal autism screening by the US Preventive Services Task Force. Dr. Coury is the medical director of the Autism Speaks Autism Treatment Network (ATN).
The Preventive Services Task Force is now considering public comment to its controversial draft recommendations before issuing a final statement on whether scientific evidence backs universal screening for autism at 18 and 24 months.
Such screening is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Read Dr. Coury’s full commentary – “Babies, Bathwater and Screening for Autism Spectrum Disorder” – here.
