The Importance of Early Diagnosis and Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Abstract

The problem of autistic spectrum disorders is a subject frequently discussed at present due to an increased number of children who have shown autistic symptoms in recent years. Early diagnosis is a first step towards integrating the child with autism into a therapeutic program and implicitly alleviating delays in developing these children. The main research method was the case study. This article discusses how early diagnosis influences the subsequent development of a child with autism and the results of different therapies on alleviating the delays in these children’s development.
