ABSTRACT
While autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has traditionally been diagnosed in specialty care, rising prevalence rates have strained specialist capacity and created significant diagnostic bottlenecks. With long wait times for specialist evaluations, pediatricians are increasingly being asked to play a greater role in identifying, diagnosing, and managing ASD within the medical home. In this commentary we draw parallels between the challenges pediatricians faced two decades ago learning how to manage pediatric asthma in the medical home, to those faced today in the field of primary care ASD management. Reflecting on the lessons learnt in primary care asthma management may help us construct a roadmap towards a higher and more consistent standard of ASD primary care for patients and their families.
