Summary

This trial aims to evaluate a new method for detecting autism in toddlers by adding a detailed test called RITA-T to their regular check-ups. The goal is to see if this new test is practical for doctors and helpful for families. By catching signs of autism early, it hopes to improve early diagnosis and intervention. The Rapid Interactive Screening Test for Autism in Toddlers (RITA-T) is a fast and inexpensive early screening measure for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that was previously tested in young children.
