Many parents are shocked and taken aback when we refer to autism, so it's critical to try and determine how we can both identify and support that. The first thing we want to determine is the typical age at which autism presents itself. Typically, people are diagnosed with the disorder between the ages of 3 and 4 years, but there are early warning signs and indicators that can be identified earlier. I would encourage all parents to genuinely watch out for their young children starting at that age.
