A doctor must look at the child's behavior  and developmental history to be able to make a diagnosis. ASD can sometimes be detected at 18 months or younger. By age 2, a diagnosis by an experienced professional can be considered very reliable . However, many children do not receive a final diagnosis until much older. Some people are not diagnosed until they are adolescents or adults. This delay means that children with ASD might not get the early help they need.]]> 2020-09-29 00:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/eddiekyle7/cvfqfri41jifqyeh/wish/786315204 Service Delivery eddiekyle7 https://padlet.com/eddiekyle7/cvfqfri41jifqyeh/wish/786327534 Students with Autism usually receive special education course at most primary schools and take these special education classes with other students who are of special needs,.
