Abstract
Two papers in the current issue of the Journal highlight a remarkable advance in research methods applied to the study of autism over the past decade1,2: a new wave of descriptive developmental studies of autism, or features of autism, in infants and toddlers. Previously, the only source of information we had about infancy and toddlerhood of children with autism was retrospective reports from parents at the age of diagnosis (often years after the onset). Parental report of early history and development still is an important component of the austism diagnostic evaluation. However, the retrospective parental informant biases, particularly through the lens of autism, might lead both to over- and underestimation of atypical features.
