Should every child be screened for autism spectrum disorder?

The idea of screening every child for autism has been around for some time. And with increasing numbers of children (and adults) being diagnosed with ASD it could make a lot of sense.

But it would cost a lot which might be spent on therapies for autistic people.

So, I for one, have not yet made my mind up.

That being said I’d love to hear your views on the subject.

Firstly it would be great if you could take the poll below. It would be great if you could use the comments section below to air your opinions on the subject. We do really want to know.

Many thanks in advance.
