[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That study is very interesting... it's sad that it was published in 2014 and probably still so few families are benefiting from treatment at that early of an age. I don't think I have heard one person on these boards say that they were seen at 6 months of age with a child displaying lack of eye contact... maybe language delay (?) but not the milder ASD symptoms.

What's happening in reality is that parents with concerns like OP (and myself starting at about 1 year) are being told not to worry. Sure, OP can get on a wait list to see a dev ped... but that will take 3 months-ish... only to be dismissed as inconclusive as the most likely outcome.

There just has to be a better way. Regular pediatricians are not catching mild ASDs early enough, IMO. I even told my regular ped that there were 2 family members with confirmed ASDs. He told me that the connection was "too distant," the connection needed to be a sibling or parent. :/[/quote]

PP here. I posted about that study before. There are other studies on intervention for 12-18 month olds that show. There was another mom who posted that she saw signs of ASD in her infant and started ABA before he turned 1.

I didn't post about my experience, but I'm happy to, if people have questions.[/quote]
