Answers to All Your Autism Questions

Here we answer some of the most common questions we receive about Houston ASD therapy and how Autism Pediatric Therapy supports families. Read all about our answers that may help you guide your child’s journey.

Does my child have autism?

Autism presents itself in many different ways, and no two children are the same. It's important to observe your child's behaviors and concerns, then consult a pediatrician or Houston ASD therapy provider. A thorough evaluation by a skilled diagnostician will help identify signs and guide you in making an informed decision.

Are children with autism similar?

Yes and no! Every child with autism is different, and their experiences and needs will vary. Stereotypes about autism can often delay proper diagnosis and treatment. It's important to seek help from an ASD therapy provider who can guide you toward the right diagnosis and ensure your child gets the support they need.

What is a good place to look for a Symptoms of Autism Guide?

While we offer a helpful checklist on our website, we highly recommend visiting Autism Speaks. Their comprehensive guide, including clear videos, provides a great resource for identifying many of the signs of autism.

My child is receiving a few hours of therapy weekly. Will this be enough to prepare him for kindergarten?

Most research suggests that Houston ASD therapy with 30-40 hours per week is the most effective. However, every child is unique, and treatment duration should be tailored to your child’s needs. After receiving a diagnosis, your autism provider can help you explore the optimal number of therapy hours for your child.
