ECHO Autism STAT™

VMAP ECHO Cohort

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects about 1 in 68 children in the United States.

ASD is more common than childhood cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. With the average time between screening for autism and acquiring a diagnosis taking two years, and many resources inaccessible to children without that formal diagnosis, critical early intervention for autism is often seriously delayed.
