I got quite a few questions, suggestions and appreciations for my yesterday’s poster. One question was “Would request you to kindly share the traits that we should look for, pre 2 years of age”.. I chose that question to design the poster for today, listing the traits / symptoms that we should look for in pre-2 years children. The content for the poster is based on my understanding. My experience is that, each professional / parent working in this space has their own perspectives and opinions on these things. Hence, emphasising that IMHO…
Personally, only after about two and half years of age, we were told that our daughter is “special”. I don’t remember the doctor using the term “Autism” at that time. We lost the opportunity for “pre- 2 years intervention”. We could start the intervention only around 3 years of age. Reason being lack of awareness. Lots of activities are carried out by personnel working in this space to spread awareness, during the month of April. This year all that is happening only on social media, because of the lockdown.
Let us spread the awareness about autism among our friends, families and other social circles.
