| Abstract |
Previous research has stressed the importance of early identification and intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders. Children who had screened positive for autism at the age of 2.5 years in a general population screening and then received a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder were enrolled in an intervention program provided by Swedish habilitation services. The following interventions were available: a comprehensive intervention based on Applied Behavior Analysis - Intensive Learning (IL) - in two settings, which included home- and preschool-based (IL Regular) and only home-based (IL Modified) and eclectic interventions. There was considerable variability in terms of outcome, but intervention group status was not associated with any of the chosen outcome variables. The main finding was that the type of intervention was not critical for outcome of adaptive or global functioning. The variability in outcome demonstrates the need for continuous assessments and evaluation of the child's function and behavior throughout the intervention period. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 21. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 September 2018.
All research outputs
#1,819,552
of 25,654,806 outputs
Outputs from Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment
#227
of 3,142 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#31,483
of 349,204 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment
#13
of 103 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,654,806 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,142 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 349,204 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 103 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
