According to the CDC (2022, March 2), about 1 in 44 children have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Research has shown no definitive cause, but the most recent evidence shows there is a link between genetic and environmental factors that occur prenatally. Discuss the characteristics of ASD, its clinical manifestations and diagnostic evaluation in the pediatric population. Consider the age of development that ASD is commonly diagnosed. What is the nurse’s role in the diagnostic process and in providing care and support to the child with ASD?
