The incidence of Autism in early age is in significant increase, despite the effort deployed by research in developing a new method of treatment, parents still struggle to find the right place and the right program to suit the needs of their children; the task becomes more complicated by the myriad types of autism encountered.
- Autism Spectrum Disorders
- High-Functioning Autism
- Asperger’s Syndrome
- Pervasive Developmental Disorders
- Rett Syndrome
Families who live with a child labeled or not with autism, or in most cases labeled with the threat of autism to make it easier for the parents to hear; still face the day-to-day difficulties. For them, the life situation they are crossing hasn’t changed despite the change of the diagnosis (or the name of the condition) the psychological, social, and financial burden is challenging for families to sustain by themselves. Nowadays easy internet access allows parents to obtain information easily, they are more informed about the disorder however they still need the help of a professional to guide them and accompany them through the difficult journey in a healing and learning process.
Learning to reach and reconnect with the child they lost contact with in the early years certainly needs hours of dedication, perseverance, and a big dose of patience. To be able to join him in his bubble and share with him play which could be a hand flapping, a sound imitation, or anything else of this sort. Building a communication bridge through simple programs, most of the time is mutually extremely rewarding.
The joy of seeing a meaningful smile with a minimal request for a toy or favorite object is priceless, the spark of this initial interaction is the mine of gold replacing all the wearisome days the family might have had, drifting towards the encouraging future.
Regardless of what someone might think; seeking help in the early stage is required. Studies are showing every time based on evidence and life stories, that to help a child we need to act as early as possible and the way forward is, without question “Early Intervention”.
