1. NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF MENTAL HEALTH
Autism Spectrum Disorders
The autism spectrum disorders can often be reliably detected by the age of 3 years, and in some cases as early as 18 months.

2. AUTISM RESEARCH
INSTITUTE
Diagnostic Checklist
A high-priority goal of the Autism Research Institute (ARI) is the development of improved methods of diagnosing children with severe behavior disorders, since most medical research is highly dependent upon accurate diagnostic methods.

Facilitated Communication
Facilitated communication training, FCT, (hereafter called facilitated communication or FC), is one form of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) that has been an effective means of expression for some individuals with labels of autism and other developmental disabilities.
