1. Mention reviews that suggest that the MCHAT over diagnoses. in particular, the child and family survey in Norway suggests this.

2. unfortunately there is no Cochrane review, but keep eye out for that.

3. a systematic review suggests that the CHAT is highly sensitive but may have limited accuracy Mawle, E., & Griffiths, P. (2006). Screening for autism in pre-school children in primary care: Systematic review of english language tools. International Journal of Nursing Studies, 43(5), 623-636. doi:http://dx.doi.org.libproxy.lib.unc.edu/10.1016/j.ijnurstu.2005.11.011

3. Robins, D. L., Fein, D., Barton, M. L., & Green, J. A. (2001). The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers: An initial study investigating the early detection of autism and pervasive developmental disorders. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 31, 131-144.

4. suggest additional citation for cross-cultural validity Koh, H. C., Lim, S. H., Chan, G. J., Lin, M. B., Lim, H. H., Choo, S. H. T., et al. (2014; 2013). The clinical utility of the modified checklist for autism in toddlers with high risk 18–48 Month old children in singapore. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44(2), 405-416. doi:10.1007/s10803-013-1880-1

...and others suggesting that it is not as reliable across cultural and class lines Scarpa, A., Reyes, N. M., Patriquin, M. A., Lorenzi, J., Hassenfeldt, T. A., Desai, V. J., et al. (2013). The modified checklist for autism in toddlers: Reliability in a diverse rural american sample. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43(10), 2269-2279. doi:10.1007/s10803-013-1779-x

5. address difference between MCHAT and CHAT:  Evidence suggests that M-CHAT has better validity and specificity than the CHAT Sunita, & Bilszta, J. L. (2013). Early identification of autism: A comparison of the checklist for autism in toddlers and the modified checklist for autism in toddlers.

To the Intellectual disabilities page, add a subheading called "comorbidities" with the following information and source:

There are six most common conditions that are strongly associated with intellectual disabilities: 22% of children with intellectual disabilities have epilepsy, 20% cerebral palsy, 17% have anxiety disorders, and about 10% have ODD, down syndrome and autism each (Oeoseburg 2011). Some evidence suggests that children with ID are at increased risk for mood disorders as well. (Maulik et al).
