Early detection and treatment of autism and other developmental disorders are key to rewiring the young brain. The numbers of children diagnosed with autism has tripled in Ohio during the past five years, according to the Ohio Department of Education. However, these numbers do not even count children not in school yet. The most recent research suggests that autism can be detected by the time children are one year of age. Although many pediatricians tend to wait until children are between two and three years of age to refer families to specialists for diagnosis, parents often recognize signs and symptoms much earlier.
