The Earlier The Better When It Comes To Autism Diagnosis
Countless children are sent to the principal’s office or given detention for their poor behavior or lacking social skills. It’s always assumed that these are “problem children” who come from “problem families” or who are never taught the proper way to act.
These are classic symptoms of Autism. Children with Autism often lack the social skills needed to maintain well behavior. This disorder and inability to develop skills is often noticeable in children younger than four years old.
Toddlers with Autism often do not respond as a child normally would to social situations. Typically at the age of 2 or 3, children begin to make friends. Autistic children often to not develop this social skill and seem a bit stand offish. Additionally, they may not respond to being hugged or shown affection from a parent or caregiver.
Autistic children also may develop a seemingly “obsessive” series of habits. For example, having to arrange things in a specific order and checking to make sure it remains that way several times. They also may have a slower speech progression. Autistic children sometimes have a limited vocabulary characterized by repeating the same words over and over again.
It’s worth mentioning that you may have a child who is simply shy, or who just takes a liking to a certain word and chooses to repeat it. There are even some children who are just naturally slower when it comes to developing speech. It’s usually when it’s a combination of these things that flags are raised.
If your child does develop a few of these common autism symptoms, or others such as unnatural attachment to objects, repetitive physical movements, or general lack of affection, it is strongly suggested that you bring it up with your physician as soon as you begin to notice it.
It’s often said that mother are the best diagnosticians – they can sense something is wrong at a very young age. It’s also recommended that you keep a video or photo diary of your child’s questionable behaviors or habits to show to your doctor.
In a recent study, it was found that there were a variety of improvements in those children who were diagnosed and treated for Autism at a younger age. There are many new and experimental treatments being used to treat the disorder, and these treatments might not always be available to all autistic children. It all depends on their geographical location.
As long as parents and caregivers can recognize the symptoms of Autism, it’s likely that an effective treatment schedule can be developed.
