Read that in Kriegers voice <| sep |> Thank you once again for the help ! Do you want Bruxish back ? <| sep |> I have gotta say that one of the issues is the lack of a systematic screening tool used by GPs and peds in Australia . The number should actually be higher IMO . I say this from my perspective . My father is a GP . He did not pick up or suggest any signs of autism even when we told him about our concerns . My father still does not know and my son has been diagnosed for over 6 months now . He is an amazing doctor and I accept he is not objective about his own grandson but it is indicative of the 5 second autism check that doctors seem to use which follows the stereotypic presentation of autism . Even the ped said he ' s not we trusted our instincts to dig deeper . There ought to be the systematic use of a screening tool like the mchat in the blue book from 18 months and there should be education of the signs of autism in neonatal wards too .
