Identifying Autism: What You Need to Know

One of the key aspects of diagnosis is looking at the individual's developmental history. This involves gathering information about early milestones, such as when they first started babbling, walking, and speaking. Parents or caregivers are often asked to provide detailed accounts of the child's early development, including any concerns they may have had about their social interaction, communication, or behavior. This information can be invaluable in identifying patterns of development that may be indicative of autism.
