Retention of autism spectrum diagnoses by community professionals: findings from the autism and developmental disabilities monitoring network, 2000 and 2006Lisa D Wiggins
National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA 30033, USA
J Dev Behav Pediatr 33:387-95. 2012..The authors therefore sought to examine the proportion of children identified from a population-based surveillance system that had a change in classification from ASD to non-ASD and factors associated with such changes...
Examination of the time between first evaluation and first autism spectrum diagnosis in a population-based sampleLisa D Wiggins
Battelle Memorial Institute, Centers for Public Health Research and Evaluation, Atlanta, GA 30333, USA
J Dev Behav Pediatr 27:S79-87. 2006..Most practitioners (70%) did not use a diagnostic instrument when assigning the first ASD diagnosis. Implications for early identification of ASD are discussed...
Brief report: excluding the ADI-R behavioral domain improves diagnostic agreement in toddlersLisa D Wiggins
Department of Psychology, Georgia State University, P O Box 5010, Atlanta, GA 30302, USA
J Autism Dev Disord 38:972-6. 2008..These findings suggest that stereotyped interests and behaviors are not as relevant to the ADI-R as other diagnostic criteria when evaluating toddlers for autism spectrum disorders...
Brief report: sensory abnormalities as distinguishing symptoms of autism spectrum disorders in young childrenLisa D Wiggins
Department of Psychology, Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA 30333, USA
J Autism Dev Disord 39:1087-91. 2009..Results also suggest that sensory abnormalities are distinguishing symptoms of ASD that should be considered in diagnostic algorithms for younger cohorts...

Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA 30333, USA
J Autism Dev Disord 42:191-200. 2012..Results also identify specific types and levels of behavioral deficit relevant to toddler populations. Implications for early diagnosis are discussed...

J Autism Dev Disord 41:227-36. 2011..45, 0.75]). Given diagnostic heterogeneity, and the broad array of ASD in the population, identifying children with ASD is challenging. Records-based surveillance yields a population-based estimate of ASD that is likely conservative...
