Abstract
This article addresses the issue of integration of routine screening for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in pediatric primary care. The relationship between screening and patient outcome is discussed. The ASD screening recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics and practical issues associated with their application are then reviewed. Finally, data from a pilot project to prepare nurses to conduct ASD screening during routine pediatric health visits are presented. The authors discuss the role of nurses in establishing systems within pediatric primary care to identify and refer children at risk for ASD.
