Can you tell which child is showing early signs of autism?
Look at each photo carefully. What do you notice?
Keep reading and we’ll get to the answer. But first . . .
Did you know that the average age of diagnosis of autism in the US is between 4 and 5 years and has not changed in more than a decade? And yet, with training on validated diagnostic tools, autism can be diagnosed by 18 – 24 months of age, and early signs of autism can be detected much earlier.
Why wait?
By catching autism early, parents can get started with intervention earlier. Early detection and intervention can have a lifetime impact on children’s outcomes. Waiting can result in the loss of precious months or years.
