This article discusses the sad truth that most pediatricians are not able to detect Autism during short 10min well child visits. When we interviewed families in our practice affected by autism, they reported that in almost half the cases the parents reported being concerned about their child but their physician not making a referral for evaluation. This is why we have detailed validated development screening tools at all our check ups, and why we make the hard choice to schedule 30 minutes for well check visits. The published typical time for a pediatric well check (journal Pediatrics) is 8-11 min.
