Autism New Jersey believes pediatricians are key in helping to address long delays to receiving an autism diagnosis. That's why we created an online resource to help pediatricians identify patients who are showing signs of autism, introduce them to how to diagnose and when to refer for diagnosis, and support their effective and compassionate care of autistic patients. Check it out in the link below. #AutismDiagnosis #AutismAwareness #AutismNewJersey #AutismTreatment autismnj.org/peds
