Diagnostic Accuracy of Primary Care Clinicians Across a Statewide System of Autism Evaluation.

Community-based primary care clinicians who receive specialty training can make accurate ASD diagnoses in most cases. Diagnostic disagreements were predominately FN cases in which EAE Hub clinicians had difficulty differentiating ASD and global developmental delay. FN cases were associated with a differential diagnostic and phenotypic profile. This research has significant implications for the development of future population health solutions that address ASD diagnostic delays.
