Dec. 8, 2010 -- A six-month, group-based early intervention program with a special emphasis on social development can improve some of the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder in children as young as 2, according to a study in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, pediatricians should screen babies and young children for developmental delays at every checkup. Many of these delays â including the language and social delays associated with autism â can be identified at 18 months, if not earlier.(See Learn the Signs .). Understand the Changeable First Year. As for autism, studies demonstrate that behavioral signs can begin to emerge as early as 6 to 12 months.However, most professionals who specialize in diagnosing the disorder wonât attempt to make a definite diagnosis until 18 months.t that time, we say that an autism diagnosis tends to become âstable.â. To illustrate what I mean, consider the example of a toddler who is meeting all his or her developmental milestones at 18 months, but then begins to lose skills, or âregress.â In other words, autism canât be ruled out at 18 months.
