Parents who call their non-speaking child wise may point to a completely different point. Autism is a complex and ambiguous disorder that is congenital or appears in the first years of life.

Although it varies depending on the intensity of the symptoms, we call this broad spectrum the spectrum. Autism is not a mental illness; however, its symptoms may evoke some mental illnesses and leave you parents with question marks.
Diagnosis at an early age is important for starting education as soon as possible. Parents, in the first three months, your child should be able to look at your face, smile and track objects. When children with normal development reach the age of 2, they begin to speak sentences. That's why parents who say my child is very calm and well-behaved should pay special attention to this situation, because when he gets a little older, the delay in speaking starts to attract the attention of the parents. If the parents react late or not at all when your child calls out, if he has serious difficulties in communicating, if on the other hand he picks up a spoon and exhibits repetitive behaviors such as circling and clapping for hours, consult a specialist before it's too late.
Aside from a strict observation until the diagnosis, your child's special education process awaits you afterwards. With the diagnosis, the treatment plan is also formed. With appropriate and effective methods, a significant reduction in the symptoms of the disease is observed. However, there is no treatment method that will completely eliminate autism. The process that starts with informing, special education, drug therapy that facilitates education (medication is often added to the treatment for accompanying behavioral disorders, hyperactivity, attention deficit, reducing repetitive movements or regulating sleep), physical education and individual or group therapy for the child with special needs continuing with.
Raising a child with autism It has no relation with the characteristics of employment or the socio-economic characteristics of the family.
