Understanding Autism:
Signs, Screening, & Next Steps
Noticing differences in your child’s development? Every child learns and grows at their own pace, but some differences might indicate autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Autism affects how individuals communicate, interact, and experience the world around them. Early identification can open doors to the right support and interventions.
At Orchid Academy, we know the process of recognizing, screening, and diagnosing autism can feel overwhelming. We’re here to help you understand what autism is, recognize the early signs, and take the next steps with confidence.
