What are the early signs of autism?
As a parent, you may be wondering what some of the autism symptoms you should keep an eye out for are. There are key developmental milestones that can help you identify whether your child has autism or not. You can also keep an eye out for certain early signs of autism, such as social, behavioral, or emotional practices, which may indicate the early signs of autism.
How early should you try to assist a child diagnosed with autism?
Depending on the child, early intervention programs can begin from as early as 18 months of age.
How early intervention can help
There are many benefits to early intervention, but here are some of the specific benefits a child can gain, including improving:
- IQ, including improvements in IQ tests
- Language abilities, including listening and understanding
- Coping skills, including emotional regulation
- Physical development, such as balance and coordination
