Its global prevalence is estimated at 1 in 59 children as per Centres for Disease Control (CDC). The symptoms of Autism often surface from 18-36 months of age.

Impact
Autism is usually missed or mistaken as delayed developmental milestones or slow learners. This delay in identification causes the child to miss out on the golden period (3-5 years) of development and growth, which is crucial in maximizing the positive impact of Early Intervention and therapies as the brain is more adaptable at a younger age. Due to which professional help is obtained after the age of 6-7 years. Hence, the early we identify an individual the effectiveness of therapies will be higher.
