Describe potential pros and cons of identifying children with ASD at a very young age.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary, but are likely to include: (Pros) The most positive outcomes tend to accrue to children who begin interventions at the earliest ages, so early assessment procedures need to be identified for use with young children, pediatricians need to become more sensitive to the possibility of autism being present, and efforts need to be made to more accurately identify the prevalence. (Cons) There is the potential for stigma associated with labeling and trauma to the parents, especially if the diagnosis is not accurate. If the procedures for assessment are not accurate and evidence-based, "false positives" could easily occur, leading to stress and a huge expenditure of time and energy to addressing the situation.
