The review of the publications devoted to the methods of early diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASD) among children. The spread of this pathology causes mixed assessments in scientific community. The frequency of ASD in different countries makes up from 5 to 90 among 10,000 children and teenagers. An increase in morbidity makes the problem of diagnosing ASD among children very urgent. The main method of diagnosing is behavioral, but they allow to diagnose autism when the child is older than 1.5 years old, when medical and corrective actions are no longer effective. The prenatal diagnostics of the ASD are almost unused. The methods of genetic analysis are considered to be additional and don’t have the direct diagnostic meaning connected with the lack of clear understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of ASD. According to Russian medical regulations children having early signs of autism can’t be defined in the age when timely medical treatment is effective. Due to this fact it was concluded that it is necessary to develop screening methods and regulations of providing medical treatment to children an teenagers having ASD.

Objective: The analysis of the distant education experience of the students studying clinical subjects in medical university.Methods: 410 students of the ISMU pediatric department. Author’s questionnaire was used. It consisted of 3 parts: socio-economic, organizational and methodical.Results: Every second respondent noticed connection problems and every fourth – an increase in communication and equipment costs. 68.2% of students increased their level of knowledge through online learning, 40% had a negative opinion about distant learning (but every third respondent didn’t give definitive positive or negative conclusion). 57.5% of the participants noticed the relevance of the given marks. At the same time the distant method increased the time spent on studying two times or more.Conclusions: The technologies used for distant education LMS Moodle got a positive feedback from students. Distant learning in case of involuntary isolation allows to keep an appropriate level of training and can extend ordinary studying and provide an opportunity of self-preparing for classes. In future it is offered to use distant learning for self-study and estimation of the quality of theoretical knowledge.
