Abstract
The review of the publications devoted to the methods of early diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASD) among children. The spread of this pathology causes mixed assessments in scientific community. The frequency of ASD in different countries makes up from 5 to 90 among 10,000 children and teenagers. An increase in morbidity makes the problem of diagnosing ASD among children very urgent. The main method of diagnosing is behavioral, but they allow to diagnose autism when the child is older than 1.5 years old, when medical and corrective actions are no longer effective. The prenatal diagnostics of the ASD are almost unused. The methods of genetic analysis are considered to be additional and don’t have the direct diagnostic meaning connected with the lack of clear understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of ASD. According to Russian medical regulations children having early signs of autism can’t be defined in the age when timely medical treatment is effective. Due to this fact it was concluded that it is necessary to develop screening methods and regulations of providing medical treatment to children an teenagers having ASD.
