When to Seek Medical Care

An individual should seek medical care to begin a comprehensive diagnostic assessment when problems with motor skills become apparent; or when problems with behaviors, social skills, and interaction begin in a preschool-aged or early school-aged child; or when the diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome is suspected in the course of a pediatric or other health care visit. Medical care is also indicated when psychopharmacologic treatment is considered for the management of problematic behaviors or symptoms associated with Asperger's syndrome.
