I think my child is showing signs of autism. Should I wait to get my child evaluated?
It’s understandable to want to trust that your child will catch up on their own, but waiting to seek an autism diagnosis can mean missing important chances for early intervention. Getting an early autism diagnosis lets your child start therapies like ABA sooner, which can improve their communication and interactions with others. Starting ABA therapy early, ideally between 18 months and 5 years, gives your child the best chance to grow and reach their goals.
Who can diagnose autism?
In the U.S., autism is diagnosed by qualified medical and mental health professionals through a comprehensive evaluation. This process may include direct observation, developmental history, caregiver interviews, and standardized diagnostic tools to determine whether a child meets criteria for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Many children can be evaluated as early as age 2.
Professionals who may diagnose autism include:
- Developmental pediatricians
- Child psychologists or neuropsychologists
- Child psychiatrists
- Pediatric neurologists
BCBAs may support the evaluation process, but a formal autism diagnosis is typically made by one of the specialists listed above.
Screening tools, such as the M-CHAT-R or CAST can help identify signs that a child may be at risk for autism. However, a full autism evaluation is required to make a formal diagnosis.
What is the best treatment for autism?
At Action Behavior, we provide applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy, a gold standard treatment for autism. ABA therapy for autism is evidence-based, which means it has been tested and shown to be effective through multiple scientific studies.
Our internal data show that children with autism who require comprehensive ABA therapy (25 or more hours per week) experience, on average, an 86% reduction in challenging behaviors such as aggression, elopement, property destruction, and self-injury. Most of this progress happens within the first year of treatment. Even as therapy hours are gradually reduced by about 20% over time, children continue to show lasting improvements. See more of our outcomes research here.
Is ABA therapy effective for autism?
Yes! Every autistic child is unique, and some children experience more significant progress with ABA therapy than others. However, studies show that children who receive two or more years of intensive behavioral interventions, including ABA therapy, can often participate in school and social activities at the same level as their peers.
