Neuropsychology of autism in young children and its implications for early intervention

Cross Cultural Variation in the Neurodevelopmental Assessment of Children – The Cultural and Neurological to 2nd Language Acquisition and Children with Autism

“…Early detection accompanied by early intervention provides the best scenario for improved long-term outcome in children with ASD (24,25). Rapid detection must be based upon the implementation of specific, evidence-based batteries.…”

Motor anticipation failure in infants with autism: a retrospective analysis of feeding situations

“…Thus, there may be a relationship between early symptoms and later impairment. Early therapy, including support and advice to family members, could prevent autistic withdrawal and improve later development (Boyd et al 2010;Makrygianni and Reed 2010;Rogers, 1998). Parents of autistic children most frequently worry about language and social relationships and report early medical problems and sleep or mealtime difficulties more often than parents of typical children (Chawarska, Paul, Klin et al 2007).…”

Parental concerns, socioeconomic status, and the risk of autism spectrum conditions in a population-based study

“…Such children need help to develop skills in establishing their communication, receptive understanding and social interaction behaviours (Blum & Talib, 2006;Rogers, 1998aRogers, , 1998b). Chawarska and colleagues have suggested that a later age of parental recognition is associated with worse outcomes (Chawarska et al, 2007), although this is yet to be fully confirmed through trials of early intervention.…”
