Abstract

Prior research suggests that Black children are at risk for delays in diagnosis of autism, but factors that influence diagnostic timing across races remain unclear. This study analyzed data from Black and White children who received a first-time autism diagnosis at a specialty clinic. Black youth were under-represented in the group who received a first diagnosis in middle/late childhood (i.e., after age six). Receiving a diagnosis later in childhood was related to higher IQ (trend level) and more internalizing problems for White children whereas it was related to lower IQ (trend level) and higher ASD symptom intensity for Black children. Findings suggest racial disparities in early identification of autism may be diminishing but persist among those diagnosed later in childhood..
