Autism Spectrum Disorders

A father or mother is usually the first to notice remarkable behaviors in their child.
In some cases, the newly born seemed “different” from birth, uninterested in other people or concentrating intently on one item for long periods of time.
The first signs of an ASD can also appear in children who seem to have been developing in a normal manner.
When an engaging, babbling toddler suddenly becomes silent, withdrawn, self-abusive, or indifferent to social relationships, something is wrong.
Research has shown that parents are usually right in noticing problems with development, although they may not realize the specific nature or degree of the problem.

This site aims to help parents find out more about these problems by focussing on signs, symptoms, diagnosis, treatments and effects on life an autism spectrum disorder might have.
ASD include asperger syndrome, autistic disorder and PDD-Nos.
