Eisla Sebastian 2011-02-20 09:17:52 http://www.autismresourcecenterofsouthflorida.com/autism_articles.php?art=7 It is estimated that between 1 in 80 and 1 in 240 with an average of 1 in 110 children in the United States have an ASD. ASDs are reported to occur in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups, yet are on average 4 to 5 times more likely to occur i CDC 2009-12-29 12:02:43 http://www.autismresourcecenterofsouthflorida.com/autism_articles.php?art=6 If you think your child might have an ASD or you think there could be a problem with the way your child plays, learns, speaks, or acts, contact your child's doctor, and share your concerns. CDC 2009-12-29 11:58:37 http://www.autismresourcecenterofsouthflorida.com/autism_articles.php?art=5 We do not know all of the causes of ASDs. However, we have learned that there are likely many causes for multiple types of ASDs. CDC 2009-12-29 11:55:01 http://www.autismresourcecenterofsouthflorida.com/autism_articles.php?art=4 There is currently no cure for ASDs. However, research shows that early intervention treatment services can greatly improve a child’s development.2 3 Early intervention services help children from birth to 3 years old (36 months) learn important skills. CDC 2009-12-29 11:43:38 http://www.autismresourcecenterofsouthflorida.com/autism_articles.php?art=3 Diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) can be difficult, since there is no medical test, like a blood test, to diagnose the disorders. Doctors look at the child's behavior and development to make a diagnosis. CDC 2009-12-29 11:37:30 http://www.autismresourcecenterofsouthflorida.com/autism_articles.php?art=2 ASDs begin before the age of 3 and last throughout a person's life, although symptoms may improve over time. Some children with an ASD show hints of future problems within the first few months of life. CDC 2009-12-29 11:34:46 http://www.autismresourcecenterofsouthflorida.com/autism_articles.php?art=1 Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of developmental disabilities that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. People with ASDs handle information in their brain differently than other people. CDC 2009-12-29 11:32:44
