Autism Signs: Identification in the Developing Child
Autism is a complex disorder for which there is no medical test. Parents are often the first to notice the signs of autism in their developing child.

What is Autism? Defining and Understanding this Complex Disorder
Although we hear a great deal about autism in the news media, and many parents know children who have an autism diagnosis, the definition of this disorder can be as complex as the disorder itself. What follows is a general overview of autism.

Terms that Describe the Developing Child
Childhood development is about much more than height, weight, and head circumference. Routine medical visits should include an assessment of developmental milestones in the areas of physical, cognitive, social and emotional, and language development.

What if the Pediatrician Tells me not to Worry?
Parents know their own child better than anyone. If you feel your pediatrician is not taking your concerns about autism as seriously as you would like, follow-up with him or her is essential.

Understanding the Process of Development: 48 to 60 months
The year between ages 48 months and 60 months is one in which a soon-to-be-kindergardener will meet many developmental milestones. As with previous ages, assessing developmental milestones during this time helps parents and pediatricians monitor a child’s progress toward meeting the physical, cognitive, social and emotional, and language development stages of this important year.
The second half of a baby’s first year is one of dramatic growth and change. Parents should be aware of the possible warning signs of a developmental delay during this time so that they can obtain early intervention if it is warranted.
Autism is a complex disorder for which there is no medical test. Parents are often the first to notice the signs of autism in their developing child.
Autism itself is not preventable. There are, however, some risk factors associated with an increased incidence of autism that may be preventable.
An early diagnosis of autism means early treatment and a much better outcome for those affected by this disorder. A new research tool developed at McMaster University is detecting symptoms of autism at age 9 months, much earlier than current diagnostic tools.
Research done at the University of California, San Diego, has discovered a link between head circumference and autism. This discovery may have positive implications for earlier diagnosis and treatment.
