Question
There are specialized training institutions where the teachers say that for cases like ours, which are mild, a period of sensory integration training and one-on-one training can be effective. How can one detect autism?
Answer
The disorder generally appears within 36 months, primarily characterized by three core symptoms: social interaction disorders, communication disorders, narrow interests, and stereotyped repetitive behaviors. Children with the condition may pull on an adult’s hand to reach for something they want, lacking appropriate facial expressions, rarely using head nods, shakes, or hand gestures to express their wishes.
