By Cara Murez HealthDay Reporter(HealthDay)MONDAY, Oct. 9, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Not all children diagnosed with autism as toddlers continue to have that diagnosis once they reach elementary school, a new study shows.
The children in the study received a diagnosis between 12 months and 36 months of age, and received community-based interventions.
They then had a research diagnosis assessment at age 5 to 7 years, between August 2018 and January 2022.
Other researchers have suggested a turning point around [age] 6 where children no longer have the symptoms,” Harstad said.
