Autism Through My Eyes: Making the Right Choices for Your Child. By Dawa Drukpa If you notice these symptoms in your child, it's essential to consider early intervention for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Early intervention can significantly impact a child's development and quality of life. Some steps you can take: Is your child aged 2, 3, 4, or 5 years still unable to speak? * Does your child understand you? * Does your child not respond when called by their name? * Does your child prefer to be alone and not socialize with same-age peers? * Does your child not make eye contact and lack eye following? * Does your child exhibit restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior? * Does your child exhibit severe sensory such as sensitivity to light and sound? The presence of these symptoms suggests a potential indication of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in your child. Early intervention is crucial in such cases. Avoid resorting completely to traditional treatments, such as seeking assistance from temples or natural environments as these may not address the underlying medical needs of a child effectively. First, it is advisable to seek medical assistance for your child. Only after receiving appropriate medical support should you consider seeking traditional treatment methods. It is important to prioritize empirical evidence interventions to ensure the best results for your child’s well-being.
