Both note that familiarity with the disease and its symptoms have increased the rate of diagnosis for those with milder social-communicative impairment. Dr. Rapin is professor in the Saul R. Korey Department of Neurology and of pediatrics and Dr. Shulman is associate professor of pediatrics and director of infant and toddler services at Einstein’s Children’s Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center.
