According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 44 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.
“Please understand this is not a death sentence. This is a different way of relating to the outside world,” Atkins said.
Hyperactive, impulsive, and/or inattentive behaviorIf you suspect your child has autism, Atkins encourages checking in with a doctor. “The first step would be to speak to their family practitioner or pediatrician,” Atkins said. “We’re looking for subtle signs early on that there may be a difference in their social development.”
Atkins said children can be diagnosed as young as 18 months old but typical diagnoses are between ages 2 to 3. “The earlier the intervention, then the more successful these children are going to be outside independent living and generally in life,” Atkins said.
