[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 456126"] Our pediatrician saw difficult child 2 was autistic about 8 months old. It took him about a year to convince us to have him tested. At 18 months the autism specialist diagnosis him. We started tons of early intervention. I've done ABA previously and could do it at home. Its been recommended to do 20 - 40 hours of it a week with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids. We also did the Play project with Dr. Solomon. We also did Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), Occupational Therapist (OT) and an autism pre-school. Part of the diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is that is shows before age 3. If you suspect autism it would be good to get him tested. You don't want to miss the opportunity when they are young. It gets harder for their brains to learn after about 6 1/2 years old. Its called brain plasticity where if presented with the right opportunity the brain will re-wire itself a little (the autism doesn't go away, but can get better). [/QUOTE]
