✅ We know there is a big increase in autism diagnoses

✅ We know the *biggest* increase in autism diagnosis is in adults

✅ We know Autism is primarily genetic (80%+ according to twin studies), and this can include de Novo mutations

✅ We know the diagnostic criteria for autism has broadened significantly since it was first identified

✅ We know autism awareness and acceptance continues to grow, including the fact that autism is more than stereotypes

❌ What we don’t know (for sure) is if there are actually more Autistic people in the world- or if just more people who are autistic are accessing a diagnosis.

And yet, so many people are ignoring all of the facts we DO know and at the same time, pretending the last statement is a scientifically known fact- when it’s not.

Now, do I personally think there are more Autistic people now than there was 100 years ago? I actually do. I also think the biggest reason for the increase in autism prevalence is increased knowledge (which we still have a long way to go) as well as *some* decreased stigma (also have a long way to go). And as a result, I predict the prevalence will continue to increase, and this will be expected and not a “crisis”.

This hits the nail on the head!

Waiting to see if your child will “ grow out out of” a behavior, a delay, or pattern, increases the risk of persistent lifelong challenges.

You have the right to request a referral!

Have questions or concerns about your child’s development? Contact us today! We can help answer those questions and recommend appropriate interventions that can improve the trajectory of your child and family.

Another day, another family telling me their doctor told them to wait and see 😭😭😭 AND this one was a 17 month old boy with signs of autism AND an Autistic sibling. And the doctor said wait until *3 years old* to get evaluated for speech 😡🤬

Whyyyyyyyy make this child wait for support for a year and a half?!? Nope nope nope.

If someone tells you to wait and see- please 1) see a specialist, and 2) if a specialist tells you this and you aren’t comfortable with it, get another opinion!

Note: I recognize many people are on long waiting lists and seeing messages like this are confusing and overwhelming. I see you. This post is aimed towards providers, and also families who could have access to support, or need access to waitlists. It’s also true that when parents are told to “wait” they may not take a delay seriously and not seek support via social media or parent education during this waiting period either. Therpay isn’t the only option and there is LOTS parents can learn free online! ❤️❤️❤️
