Autism / Asperger Disorder EvaluationsThe American Academy of Pediatrics recommends screening for Autism at the time child’s routine pediatric visit. At the Pediatric Center of Round Rock we offer Autism screening at the nine-month and three-year visit, consisting on questionnaires offered to the parents in order to identify red flags as early as possible. Frequent well-check exams by your Pediatrician will allow for early identification by regularly observing the child’s behavior and listening to your concerns.
