Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to assess the efficiency of early treatment for ASD children 5 years after initial treatment.
The early treatment implemented was 12 hours per week of ESDM versus treatment as usual during 2 years. This was done as an RCT, called IDEA. Children will now be included in IDEA-2 SCOLA, a three year follow up study.
Detailed Description
180 children with ASD, younger than 3 years old, were included in the IDEA RCT. Children were allocated to the ESDM treatment group or the treatment as usual group. The aim of IDEA-2 is to follow-up this population for 3 years after the initial 2 years of intervention, that is, 5 years after initial inclusion to IDEA. Investigators hypothesize that children who received ESDM 12 hours per week will have a significant decrease of autism symptoms and will have a better scholastic level 5 years after initial inclusion to IDEA.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
ADOS (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule )
Time Frame: 3 YEARS
Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule is a semi-structured, standardized, observational tool, which measures core autism symptoms, that is to say reciprocal sociocommunicative interaction, and repetitive and restrictive behaviors. This assessment will be administered by an assessor blind to the allocation group.
Secondary Outcomes
- VABS (Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales)(3 YEARS)
- Parental self-assentiment(3 YEARS)
- Wechsler (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children)(3 YEARS)
- PPVT ( Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test )(3 YEARS)
