Proposal for Research on Autism
The Chairman,
Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SAFARI)
New York, NY 10010.
Dear Sir,
This is a proposal for research into the current parameters of diagnosis of Autism and related disorders and the limitations these parameters place on clinicians and others associated with identification and intervention practices for Autism Spectrum Disorders. Further research can identify other conditions that have symptoms that are similar to ASD. Identifying the possibilities of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis can help parents, teachers, practitioners, and others dealing with children who have Autism, provide better service to such children.
