Résumé

We evaluated the integration of the Rapid Interactive screening Test for Autism in Toddlers (RITA-T) model in a community, comparing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) toddlers' demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Of 394 ASD toddlers, 323 were screened with RITA-T. Those screened were from more deprived areas, traveled farther and were diagnosed earlier. The model improved the diagnosis of ASD in underserved areas.
