10. HOW TO DIAGNOSE AUTISM ?
Monitors your child development : ASD involves a variety of delays
( social , emotional and cognitive).
Take action if you are concerned : every child develops at a different
pace but if your child is not meeting the milestones for his or her age or
you suspect a problem share with your doctor.
Don’t accept a wait and see approach : waiting is the worst thing you
can do you risk loosing valuable time at an age where your child has the
best chance for improvement.
