Things You Should Know, if You Suspect Your Child Might Have an Autism Spectrum Disorder

2012

Autism spectrum disorders are referred to as a 'spectrum' to demonstrate that while individuals share common characteristics,how these characteristics are manifested can be quite different. In other words, no two individuals are the same. The characteristics of autism spectrum disorders present themselves differently in each child. Some children with an autism spectrum disorder show hints of future problems within the first few months of life. In others, symptoms might not appear until 24 months or later. Some children with an ASD seem to develop normally until around 18 to 24 months of age and then they stop gaining new skills, or they lose the skills they once had.
