Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Power of Early Intervention

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by differences in social communication and restricted, repetitive behaviors. Early signs often appear before age two, such as reduced eye contact, delayed speech, or lack of response to their name. Research shows that early intervention services (like speech and occupational therapy) from a young age can greatly improve a child’s development. If you notice developmental red flags, consult a pediatric neurologist promptly.
