Autism can be reliably diagnosed by the age of 2 years, and sometimes even earlier around 12–18 months.

Please note: While early intervention gives the best results, it is never too late to begin. With our customized therapy plans, individuals of any age can show remarkable progress and lead fulfilling lives.
