Signs of Autism

When it comes to autism spectrum disorder, early diagnosis and intervention are essential to
supporting positive, long-term outcomes for your child. While signs of autism most commonly emerge between 24 and 36 months of age, they may be observed earlier in some children.

At Horizon, we are committed to supporting families at every stage of their journey. We provide guidance, coordination, and access to services designed to help children reach their fullest potential. It is important to note that an official diagnosis of autism must be made by a licensed medical doctor (MD) with specialized training and expertise in developmental evaluation.

Our team is here to assist you through each step of the process—from addressing initial concerns to connecting you with qualified providers for a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, and initiating individualized intervention services—ensuring your child receives the highest standard of care and support.
