Diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorders

 

An early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder is important so that earlier needed interventions can begin, however, there are still many concerns about “labeling” a young child with autism spectrum disorder.  There is a lot of evidence that indicates intensive early intervention in optimal educational settings for at least 2 years during the preschool years is very effective in improving outcomes in most young children with autism spectrum disorder.

 

Autism Treatment Options

 

Unfortunately, there is no one best treatment package for all children with autism.  Most professionals do agree that early intervention is very important, and that most individuals with autism respond well to highly structured and specialized programs.
