Part 2 of the review article on autism spectrum disorders summarizes the diagnostic strategies and diagnostic tools available in

the Czech Republic. The crucial role of the paediatrician in identifying early symptoms and providing initial diagnosis is discussed.

Psychological diagnosis as an important component of a comprehensive examination process is also included. Basic information

is provided on the course and prognosis as well as the strategy of pharmacotherapy in autism spectrum disorders. Finally,

recommendations are presented, particularly for the general paediatrician, on how to proceed during preventive check-ups or

when autism spectrum disorder is suspected at any time during childhood.

Keywords: autism spectrum disorders, diagnostics, psychological assessment, course, prognosis, therapy
