This narrative-integrated prospective clinical framework synthesizes neurological screening tools, early developmental assessments, and intervention strategies applied in infants and toddlers at risk for ASD

Abstract

Background

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) represent a heterogeneous group of neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by deficits in social communication and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior. Increasing global prevalence has intensified the need for early neurological screening and evidence-based intervention strategies during infancy, when neuroplasticity is greatest.
