You don’t have to be sure before you ask

You’ve noticed something, and you haven’t said it out loud yet, in case you’re wrong.

There’s no single test for autism. No blood draw, no scan. A diagnosis is built from what people observe over time, so what you’ve been noticing is part of that. It isn’t nothing.

You don’t have to be sure before you ask. Ask your child’s doctor for a developmental screening, and tell them the part you’ve been keeping to yourself.
