Although every child develops skills at their own pace, there are certain milestones that most children reach by a certain age. If you think your child hasn’t reached a milestone yet, that doesn’t mean they have autism. It is important to pay attention to the signs so you can talk to your health care professionals.
Early detection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is critical for long-term development. The earlier parents and clinicians identify autism and begin therapy, the better the outcomes for that child. Your vigilance and access to answers can change the trajectory of your child’s growth.
