What are the signs that your child needs intervention?
According the DSM IV TR, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by varying degrees of impairment in communication skills, social interaction and restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior. Signs of usual behaviors in the child can be detected, usually by parents, as early as 18 months are as below:
Early signs like the infant being “different”; unresponsive to people around or focusing intently on certain objects for prolong periods of time.
Children who seem to develop normally may also exhibit sudden change in behaviors; i.e. child who was lively and engaging suddenly becomes silent, withdrawn or indifferent to social interactions.
While some parents may prefer to adopt a “sit-and-wait” approach and monitor, what is critical in an intervention program is to start early (as soon as the child is identified/diagnosed to be at risk)
