What To Do If You Think Your Child Has Autism

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects:-


  • How a person communicates and relates to other people
  • How they experience the world around them
  • Social interaction, communication, interests and behaviour


The common behaviours of autism may be detectable at an early age, however these behaviours often don’t show themselves until an aspect of the child’s life changes, for example when the child goes to nursery or primary school or moves to secondary school.
