Some important information for people wondering if their child might be suffering from autism. A new Web site offers dozens of video clips of autistic kids, along with clips of children unaffected by the disease. The site gives parents a way to compare their kids' behavior to see if they might need to have a doctor take a closer look. The site is sponsored by two non-profit advocacy groups, Autism Speaks and First Signs. They hope it will promote early diagnosis and treatment, which can help young children with autism lead more normal lives.
If your child is diagnosed with autism, early intervention is critical to gain maximum benefit from existing therapies.
