Re: questions about sensory issues - To

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to throw my thoughts in. Autism can be diagnosed before

3 years of age. Waiting till three for a diagnosis just loses time

for therapy. I've worked in early intervention and we have had

children diagnosed as young as 18mos and have been given the proper

therapies and have been in regular schools when they go to

kindergartin. In NJ we have great programs for Autistic children, so

maybe we are just a step above other states, but whoever is telling

you that it can not be diagnosed is wrong. Debbie
