Abstract
There has been, over recent decades, increasing awareness and understanding in society about autism. Many more people receive a diagnosis of autism now than in earlier decades and the prevalence is typically judged to be between 1.8 and 2.6% of the population (Fombonne, 2018). The average age of diagnosis in the United States is four years (Landa, 2018). However, the extent to which we should aim to identify autism in very young children, as young as 12 months, remains a matter of significant debate in research, policy and practice. This paper aims to summarise this extant debate and its potential implications for professionals and parents.
