Diagnostic Tests for Autism Spectrum Disorder in Morocco
Abstract
The diagnosis of autism is based on the cross observations of several professionals and a multidisciplinary team (MDT) specialized in different situations. This research aims to establish a state of the art on the diagnostic and screening tests used by professionals in the United States, Canada, and France to determine the situation of the disorder in Morocco. Through interviews with 20 autism professionals from the three countries and Morocco specifically, as well as the review of 20 scientific articles, our study could identify the diagnostic and screening tools most used in the abovementioned countries.
Keywords: diagnosis, autism, multidisciplinary team, tests, screening.
