Primary care of children with autism spectrum disorder: Applying evidence-based interventions

Abstract: Pediatric autism spectrum disorder (ASD) consists of multisystem components that primary care providers (PCPs) must address. PCPs improve health outcomes associated with ASD when they administer developmental screening tools and thoroughly assess identified concerns. Pursuing specialty health services early in childhood combined with managing comorbid conditions curtails symptom escalation and disease progression.
