Autism Symptoms
Autism, a developmental disorder typically identified between three and four years, can be detected as early as twelve months. Early diagnosis and intervention lead to better outcomes. Symptoms include social disengagement, delayed motor skills, limited eye contact, and unusual behaviors. Access to support services, like those provided by Easter Seals, is crucial following diagnosis. Despite the current wait times for a formal diagnosis, initiatives are pushing for expedited processes, emphasizing the importance of timely interventions for a child’s improved development and family support.
