The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) is pleased to provide feedback as part of the community consultation on the national guidelines for autism diagnosis.
The RACGP commends Cooperative Research Centre for Living with Autism (Autism CRC) on the development of these comprehensive guidelines. We acknowledge the importance of establishing clear criteria for the diagnosis and management of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and believe the draft guidelines capture the primary domains of care provision to individuals with ASD in the general practice setting.
