Frequently Asked Questions

Early signs can appear as early as 12-18 months and include limited eye contact, not responding to their name, delayed speech, repetitive behaviors, and difficulty with social interactions. Trust your instincts - if you have concerns, seek evaluation.

Autism can be reliably diagnosed as early as 18-24 months by experienced professionals. However, some children may not receive a diagnosis until later, especially those with subtler presentations.

Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition with genetic and environmental factors playing roles. It is NOT caused by vaccines, parenting styles, or diet. Research suggests it begins before birth.

Many autistic individuals live independent, fulfilling lives. Early intervention and ongoing support significantly improve outcomes. Each person is unique, and we focus on helping your child reach their full potential.

Create predictable routines, use clear communication, celebrate your child's strengths and interests, provide sensory breaks when needed, and connect with other families and professionals for support and guidance.
