Early help for children with autism spectrum disorders is the most effective way of intervention for disorders. In the process of identifying children at risk of autistic disorders, correctional work should begin before the official diagnosis has been made. It should start in the process of diagnosis, which leads to the risk of noting false-positive cases. The empirical and theoretical grounds for the necessity for early care in autism spectrum disorders are examined. Features of early care for children at high risk of developing disorders are also de¬scribed. The stages of early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders are identified and compared with the stages of early care for such children. The strategy of early care methodological support for children at risk is defined. Propositions for practical realizations of the Concept of developing early support in Russian Federation in the period until 2020 for the risk group concerning autism spectrum disorders.

Abstract Background: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by a triad of social, communicative, and imaginative impairments. Although early detection and intervention are important to improve functional outcomes in ASD, similar features between ASD and other developmental delays may impede timely diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the feasibility of Cognitive Visual Assessment Questionnaire (CVAQ) in differentiating ASD from other developmental delays.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 115 pediatric patients (80 males, 35 females) with ASD and other developmental delays who had the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) and CVAQ performed at Uijeongbu St. Mary's Hospital from January 2017 to June 2019. Results: The mean age at M-CHAT and CVAQ was 31.8 months (range, 14.1 – 48). The proportion of ASD was significantly higher in patients with screen-positive M-CHAT than those with screen-negative M-CHAT (P = 0.035). The sensitivity of CVAQ for detecting ASD was 83.3% and 94.1% in 14.1 – <24 months and 24 – <36 months age groups, respectively. Among patients with screen-negative M-CHAT, the mean number of failed tasks related to dorsal stream pathway was greater in ASD compared to other developmental delays, although the differences were not statistically significant (P = 0.437).Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that autistic individuals may have a specific impairment in dorsal stream functioning. CVAQ also showed improved sensitivity for detecting ASD in toddlers. When coupled with clinical observation and judgement, CVAQ is a useful alternative screening tool for differentiating ASD from other developmental delays in young children.

Play is an ideal tool for enhancing the development of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). It is important to know their possibilities and to develop play activities that permit the special educational needs of these children to be addressed in an adequate way. Therefore, a case study is presented with two children and a two-year follow-up period during which the authors observe which aspects the development has evolved and if it is possible to increase the sense of the activity in these children using play as an educational response. The results are accompanied by an in-depth interview with the teachers of the students over the two-year period. An improvement in areas of development is evidenced in the social, communicative, symbolic, and anticipation and flexibilization dimensions during the two years immersed in a play methodology, supported by the structuring of routines and task spaces. Also, an evolution of the sense of the activity and the development of functional play is observed.
