About Autism
Autism is a general term used to describe a group of complex developmental brain disorders – autism spectrum disorders–caused by a combination of genes and environmental influences. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by communication difficulties, social and behavioral challenges, as well as repetitive behaviors. An estimated 1 in 44 children in the U.S. is on the autism spectrum. Most children were still being diagnosed after age 4, though autism can be reliably diagnosed as early as age 2. One of the most important things you can do for your child is to learn the early signs of autism. It is important that you are familiar with typical developmental milestones your child should be reaching. Early intervention is imperative for reaching optimal outcomes and helping a child with autism build critical skills that allow them to gain independence and improve overall quality of life. The sooner you identify whether your child has autism, the sooner you can get the resources your child needs to unlock their unlimited potential and reach their goals.
