Very interesting,my nephew wasnt diagnosed with ASD until he was 15 years old, when it was clearly obvious something was wrong much earlier.

Yes it does get missed sometimes.
The same with my grandson, not until 1st grade. He is on the higher functioning end of the spectrum though, with Aspergers Syndrome. I am a family doctor and we screen children for ASD at 18 months and 24 months with the MCHAT questionnaire. Of course we're on the lookout at every visit.
