DIAGNOSIS - AUTISM AWARENESS AUSTRALIA The assessment and diagnosis of autism is complex and so are the emotions and issues that arise with it.

SIGNS OF AUTISM

Autism can be diagnosed at any age, and we list below typical signs of autism across the lifespan. Today, autism can be diagnosed in children aged two years and even younger. Younger siblings of children already diagnosed are being assessed before they are one. If you have any concerns about your child’s development, we encourage you to

THERAPY PROGRAMS

Therapy programs. The following therapies may be used in the early years as part of intensive programs, and at any stage throughout a person’s lifetime. Until recently, older children, teenagers and adults with ASD had limited access these therapies, being hampered by a lack of funding to help pay for them. Fortunately, the advent of the

EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES Nearly 50% of individuals with ASD wander. 90% of deaths in the ASD population group (under 14yrs old) is a result of drowning. This toolkit equips parents, educators and keys stakeholders with a range of preventative and reactive strategies and resources, designed by clinical specialists, which aim to mitigate the associated risks. TEENAGERS - AUTISM AWARENESS AUSTRALIA The importance of good professional support. Teenagers on the spectrum face many challenges. Anxiety is extremely common, occurring at a much higher rate than seen in typically developing teens. Depression can also occur in ASD, especially as young people become aware of their differences and social ‘failures’. LOOKING AFTER YOURSELF Accepting limits to what you can do — you are not the only person who can help your child. Ask for and accept help whenever you can. Spend time away from children — sometimes the last thing you may want to talk about or think about is autism.Meet up with friends who have no connection to your child or set aside time for activities that give you pleasure, such as reading, running, or craft.

EARLY YEARS

Early years. The years from babyhood until school starts are often described as the most crucial in any child’s life.

GIRLS AND AUTISM

Autism and girls. Rates of autism prevalence suggest that boys are, on average, 4 times more likely to have autism than girls. But this figure may hide the true incidence of autism in girls and women, with some estimates ranging from 7:1 to as low as 2:1 (that is, 2 boys for every girl).
