Factors That May Influence Parent Treatment Decision Making for Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

This study involved a statewide survey of parents of young children with ASD to examine the relative weights of the factors that influenced their treatment decisions. Results suggested that caregivers rely on their own intuition for much decision making, though selected professionals are also influential. Implications for professionals working with children with ASD and their families are discussed. PMID: 29111961 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
