Early Signs of Autism

Three years ago this national initiative was launched to help parents recognize the possible red flag signs of autism.

Research shows that the earlier children are diagnosed and the sooner treatment/therapy is started, the better the results for children.

Currently, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children be screened for autism twice before the age of 2. But many parents say they can tell much earlier that something “is not quite right” simply by observing their child’s development.
