Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is exactly that – a spectrum – that leads to unique strengths and challenges for each individual. From the clinical definition to autism myths, we are here to help you learn more.
Every individual experiences different behaviors and challenges, but there are a few signs you can look for before you decide whether to move onto the next steps.
Free Developmental Milestones Checklist
Download our milestone checklists that outline the key developmental milestones for your child’s first 5 years. Though they do not take the place of a test for autism or disability, these free child development checklists for infants, toddlers and preschool children can provide more perspective around the skills to observe and discuss with your pediatrician.
Schedule a Diagnostic Evaluation
If you think your child shows symptoms of autism, schedule an evaluation with a qualified professional. Our Hopebridge Diagnostic Team built an autism testing guide to give you a peek at what to expect.
How can we foster inclusivity and encourage children to build friendships of all kinds? Showing them and telling them about all the cool things they can learn and do with their new friends, of course!
To do this, we created an interactive Children’s Guide to Understanding Peers with Autism, all with the goal of letting kids know that “different” does not equal “less.”
The guide can be viewed digitally or printed as a hard copy. Within the guide, you will find:
– Tips for Caregivers: Fostering Inclusivity in our Kids
– My Brother or Sister is on the Spectrum: How to Communicate with Siblings About Autism
– Children’s Books About Autism and Differing Abilities
– Kids’ Coloring Book About Autism: Friends Who are Different Are Cool
– How to Get Involved in World Autism Month
This World Autism Month, feel good about where you’re spending your dollars. We curated a list of amazing autistic-led businesses across the country with incredible products and services. Some focus on neurodiverse employment and training, while others put actions in place to ensure autism-friendly practices.
How Prevalent is Autism?
As autism prevalence continues to rise—now affecting 1 in 31 children—so does the need for greater awareness, earlier diagnosis and access to high-quality care. Hopebridge is committed to meeting this growing need by advancing innovation in autism care, from expanding access through telehealth services and eye-tracking technology for diagnostic testing to developing data-driven tools like its assessment platforms that track progress and improve outcomes. By combining early identification, personalized therapy and ongoing research, Hopebridge is helping more children build essential life skills, with many continuing to succeed in school and daily life long after therapy ends—demonstrating what’s possible when awareness leads to action.
