It's not that that window closes; it doesn't. But it diminishes considerably. And yet, the median age of diagnosis in this country is still about five years, and in disadvantaged populations, the populations that don't have access to clinical services, rural populations, minorities, the age of diagnosis is later still, which is almost as if I were to tell you that we are condemning those communities to have individuals with autism whose condition is going to be more severe.
No es que esa posibilidad se cierre. No es así. Pero disminuye considerablemente. Y aún así, la edad media de diagnóstico en este país es cerca de los cinco años, y en poblaciones desfavorecidas, aquellas que no tienen acceso a servicios médicos, poblaciones rurales, minorías, la edad de diagnóstico es aún mayor, lo que es casi como si les dijera que estamos condenando a esas comunidades a tener individuos con autismo cuyo trastorno será más severo.
