join us if you're a parent of a child with autism

Many studies report that parents of children with autism experience more stress than other parents and may feel isolated and alone.

When you’re looking after a child with ASD, it’s also important to take care of yourself. Being emotionally strong allows you to be the best parent you can be to your child in need.  

  Our team will support you in getting along with autism and meeting other autism parents. We also work together to connect you with the services you need.

What is Autism

ABOUT AUTISM

ABOUT AUTISM

ABOUT AUTISM

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a serious Neuro-Developmental Disorder that impairs a child's ability to communicate and interact with others. Autism significantly affects verbal and non-verbal communication and social interaction that adversely affects the child’s educational performance. It may also cause restricted repetitive behaviors, interests and activities.

 

Some of the characteristic behaviors of Autism may be apparent in the first few months of a child's life, or they may appear at any time, mainly before the age of 3 years.

It's very Important to realize that Early Diagnosis & Early Intensive Intervention are CRITICAL to gain maximum benefit from existing therapies and it can make a big difference in the lives of many children.

AUTISM RATES

ABOUT AUTISM

ABOUT AUTISM

 The CDC latest statistics on March 2020, show that 1 in 44 children 8-year-olds in the U.S. has an autism spectrum disorder, or ASD. (United States Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, 2021)  


AUTISM AFFECTS 

BOYS 5 TIMES MORE THAN GIRLS

 

Autism Cases on the Rise, Reason for Increase Still a Mystery


The number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder is rising. In the 1970s and 1980s, about one out of every 2,000 children had autism. It's not clear whether this is due to better detection and reporting or a real increase in the number of cases, or both.

AUTISM DIAGNOSIS

ASPERGER'S SYNDROME

AUTISM DIAGNOSIS

Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be difficult, since there is no medical test, like a blood test, to diagnose the disorders. Doctors, Professional & Trained Specialists look at the child’s behavior and development to make a diagnosis. The doctor should refer the child to a team of professionals in developmental evaluation and early intervention.

A typical diagnostic evaluation involves a multi-disciplinary team of doctors including a pediatrician, psychologist, speech and language pathologist and occupational therapist.

It's very Important to realize that Early Diagnosis & Early Intensive Intervention is CRUCIAL to gain maximum benefit from existing therapies and it can make a big difference in the lives of many children.

AUTISM TREATMENT

ASPERGER'S SYNDROME

ASPERGER'S SYNDROME

 AUTISM TREATMENT 

There is no Medical treatment for Autism but you need a team of Professional & Trained specialists to work with the child.

It is important to remember that you do not need a diagnosis to start working with the child. Early Intervention is Crucial to the child's long term improvement and success.

Treatment Interventions for Autism
There is no single treatment protocol for all children with Autism,  but most individuals with Autism respond best to highly structured Educational programs and Early Intervention.

Some of the most common interventions are Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), school-based TEACCH method, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Verbal Behavior Intervention (VB), Sensory Integration Therapy, Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) and the Floortime Therapy

ASPERGER'S SYNDROME

 

ASPERGER'S SYNDROME


is the High Functioning part of the Autism Spectrum Disorder.The condition is what doctors call a "high-functioning" type of ASD. 

This means the symptoms are less severe than other kinds of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

 

This group of related mental health issues shares some symptoms. Even so, lots of people still use the term Asperger's.


The DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) also includes a new diagnosis, called social pragmatic communication disorder, which has some symptoms that overlap with Asperger's. 

Doctors use it to describe people who have trouble talking and writing, but have normal intelligence.
