Autism Spectrum Disorder
What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), hereafter referred to as Autism, is a complex, lifelong developmental condition that typically appears during early childhood and can impact a child's social skills, communication, relationships, and self-regulation. Autism is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is often referred to as a “spectrum condition” that affects children differently and to varying degrees. Because autism is a spectrum disorder, each child with autism has a distinct set of strengths and challenges. The ways in which people with autism learn, think and problem-solve can range from highly skilled to firmly challenged. Autism is different for everyone. While there is currently no known single cause of Autism, early screening and diagnosis can help parents receive resources and knowledge that supports their child's continued development.
Early Screening
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all children receive autism-specific screening at 18 and 24 months of age, in addition to broad developmental screening at 9, 18, and 24 months. Developmental screening is a short test to tell if children are learning basic skills when they should, or if they might have delays. During a developmental screening exam, a doctor might ask the parent some questions or interact with their child in order to see how the child learns, speaks, behaves, and moves. A delay in any of these areas could indicate a need for additional autism-specific screening.
All children should be screened for developmental delays and disabilities during regular child doctor visits at:
-
9 months
-
18 months
-
24 or 30 months
Identifying Autism
The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual is used to diagnose autism, however it is important to note that every child is different and symptoms can vary case by case. In general, the main signs and symptoms of autism relate to communication/interactions with people and routines/repetitive behaviors.
