EARLY DIAGNOSIS

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) refers to a lifelong condition that usually appears in late infancy or early childhood
ASD has an unclear etiology and no known cure, making it difficult to acquire accurate and timely diagnoses.
In addition, once an ASD diagnosis is made, parents find it challenging to navigate the healthcare system and determine which interventions are most effective and appropriate for their child.
A growing body of evidence supports the value of early diagnosis and treatment with evidence-based interventions, which can significantly improve the quality of life of individuals with ASD as well as of their carers and families

ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder often found in children. Approximately 9.4 percent of U.S. children between the ages of 2 and 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD. There are three types of ADHD:

• predominantly hyperactive-impulsive
• predominantly inattentive
• combination

The combined type of ADHD, where you experience both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms, is the most common. The average age of diagnosis is 7 years old and boys are much more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than girls, although this may be because it presents differently.
