This could likely affect the incidence rate of ASD (CitationMcPartland, Reichow, & Volkmar, 2012; CitationWorley & Matson, 2012), but may not immediately affect the prevalence as the recommendation is to not re-evaluate individuals already qualifying for ASD under various classifications (CitationHyman, 2013).

Parents are generally the first to notice and report a developmental problem in their children (CitationJohnson & Myers, 2007). However, it would be possible to perform parallel assessments of these videos using the GMT in order to produce CP risk profiles for these infants34.
