- Summary:
- The NICE guideline (CG128) on diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASD) was reviewed by the surveillance programme in September 2016. The surveillance process identified new evidence indicating that the current recommendations on factors associated with an increased prevalence of ASD should be updated. The following key factors were identified for consideration: being small for gestational age, prenatal use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and use of fertility treatments and the presence of neurodevelopmental disorders. This update reviews the evidence for these factors and considers whether they may alter the likelihood that a person has ASD and whether clinicians should take account of these factors when considering referral for an ASD diagnostic assessment.
