PY - 2019 DA - 2019/03/21 TI - Pathways to a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in Germany: a survey of parents JO - Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health SP - 16 VL - 13 IS - 1 AB - Early identification of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is a prerequisite for access to early interventions.
