Early diagnosis is critical for treatment and helping the affected child and their family. The linked CDC site says average age of diagnosis is 4 years of age, which is shown to be more expensive for society as a whole. We have reliable ways to diagnose by 2 years now (and eye tracking could lower this perhaps to 9 months or earlier). Early diagnosis should be standard of care.
