Child's sociability: The exam is basically the same. The pediatrician will ask you questions about your child's development and sociability.

No, follow up: A full evaluation is not done at each follow up. An interval history will be updated, and the child will be examined for neurodevelopmental signs. Medications or therapies will, be discussed if appropriate. And follow up scheduled.

Teacher/ therapist &: Parent written reports of response to intensive behavioral & educational therapy, verbal interval history & objective clinical assessment of developmental & behavioral progress are vital to determine the efficacy of the current program. Early response to therapy, degree of autism & level of cognitive ability are prognostic indicators. Medical evaluation for causes of autism may be completed.
