Persons living with an Autism Spectrum Disorder have the right to coordinated accurate & appropriate assessment and diagnostic services. There is a great need for access to diagnostic services that are accurately administered and interpreted by professionals that understand the complex nature of autism spectrum disorders. Diagnoses of autism spectrum disorders require a comprehensive approach to diagnosis in order to understand the complex nature of the spectrum. In order to guide parents and professionals toward appropriate treatment pathways, mass dissemination of educational materials is needed to assist in the recognition of problems at the earliest age possible in the development of a child who potentially has an autism spectrum disorder. As diagnostic tools evolve, diagnostic services must also evolve in order to avoid predetermined ideas and notions based on antiquated diagnostic techniques as well as criteria that are too narrow in diagnostic scope.
