Introduction and Background for a research about : Title: Autism identification and severity scale for United Arab Emirates children 18 to 36 months of age. Abstract: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is one of the common disabilities in UAE. ASD often go undetected in toddlers. Research have shown that Autism can be detected reliably in children as early as 18 months old. Further research shows that early intervention leads to positive outcomes later in the lives of individuals with autism. Our research focus is to find and adopt a reliable early identification autistic scale for the UAE environment. This project intends to develop and adapt an autism scale for children aged 18 to 36 months of age in Emirati society. Several reliable ASD scales such as the Childhood Autism Rating Scale Second Edition (CARS-2) and Gilliam Autism Rating Scale Third Edition (GARS-3) will be reviewed to adapt items that will assist in early detecting of children who have autism in UAE reliably. important Points: definition of early identification autism in the UAE (New References 2010+)
