Autism spectrum disorder

No comments

Autism is a term that describes psychological and developmental delays that can occur to help children. The diagnosis of autism can be difficult, but this illness is becoming more common across the world.

There are certain milestones that all children need to meet in order to interact, play, and learn properly. The American Association of pediatrics recommends screening for autism at 18 months and 24 months or whenever a parent is concerned about their child's development.

Each state in the United States has an early intervention contact number to help parents and doctors to diagnose autism early to help with treatment options. The website is:

Some symptoms of possible autism may include no babbling or cooling by 12 months of age, no gesturing by 12 months of age, not speaking at all by 16 months, not speaking in 2 word sentences by 24 months, or a loss of any language or social skills.

It is important to talk with your pediatrician today if your child has any of the above symptoms.
