Autism Spectrum Disorders Treatment
Children with autism spectrum disorder do not like changes to their routine and need strict schedules. They may avoid eye contact, have trouble controlling emotions and perform repetitive behaviors like hand flapping, rocking, and jumping. They may perform activities that could cause self-harm such as biting and head banging. It is very important to find out as soon as possible if a child has an autism spectrum disorder so that resources can be lined up to help the child reach his or her full potential. The sooner that starts, the better
