Are there any medical tests to find autism in babies and toddlers?

Regular well checks: Most pediatricians evaluate babies and toddlers at each well-check visit for any neurological abnormalities. They assess the baby's development and check to see if they are meeting the usual milestones. If a child seems to be delayed in development, he may be evaluated by a specialist to decide what treatment is needed.
