This video will go over the symptoms of an autism diagnosis and the treatments available to those diagnosed with ASD.
What We Learned from this Video:
- There are six symptoms used to diagnose autism.
- There are three main categories looked at when diagnosing autism: communication, social skills, and irregular behaviors.
- Red flags can show up around nine or ten months.
- Warning signs can include not making eye contact, not sharing, or not responding to their name.
- It is possible to get a diagnosis between 18 and 24 months.
- If you notice red flags, take your child to see a specialist.
- If you have an older child, irregularities in social behavior can be an indicator of autism.
- Autism can be treated with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
- If you have an instinct that your child has some sort of disability even after being told by a doctor or pediatrician that there is nothing wrong with them, it is recommended that you check with a specialist just to be safe.
