Read article - An opinion piece by Andrew Schuman, clinical assistant professor of pediatrics, about the exploration of artificial intelligence and telehealth systems to allow children with autism to be formally diagnosed earlier. “Clinicians generally screen children for autism spectrum disorder twice, at ages 18 months and 2 years, during routine health maintenance exams. Unfortunately, this neurodevelopmental condition often evades formal diagnosis until a child is 4 years or older,” Schuman said.
