Case report: Transient symptoms of autism spectrum disorder in a 2‐year‐old boy

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Though early ASD diagnosis is highly stable, this case report describes a rare situation in which symptoms resolved without intervention over a 4 month period. We do not recommend delaying diagnosis in symptomatic children who meet criteria but when major behavioral changes are reported after diagnosis, reevaluation may be beneficial.
