Let's Talk About Autism: Signs, Treatment & Family

Created by Dr Himani Narula Khanna Updated on Nov 11, 2020
"All of us are a little different from each other. If we don't take Autism as a big hue and cry and as parents if we accept the fact that our child is developing a little differently and has different needs, it won't be difficult to bridge the gap. Only a therapy isn't enough, the whole family's participation is important for the child's development," says Dr Himani Khanna, Developmental Behavioural Paediatrician, Continue Kids. On the World Autism Awareness Day, recognised on April 2, we seek to raise awareness on ASD. You might have come across a child with Autism in your neighbourhood, or a child who gets distressed at a mall, and, you may have heard about Autism Spectrum Disorder. But what can you do take a step forward and celebrate the different but NOT less.
