Most parents notice changes in early childhood, often by 12 months of age. Other common signs of autism are:

  • a delay or lack of babbling by 12 months
  • a lack of gestures, such as pointing or waving, by 12 months
  • a lack of single words by 16 months
  • a delay or lack of two-word phrases by 24 months

These are just a few examples of some early signs of autism. If you notice any of these signs in your child, it's important to talk to your doctor. Early intervention is key when it comes to autism. And while there is no cure for autism, there are treatments and therapies that can help lessen the symptoms and improve the quality of life for those with autism and their families. One such therapy is chiropractic care.

Chiropractic care for autism is based on the premise that there is a relationship between the nervous system and the function of the body. And because autistic individuals often have sensory processing issues, chiropractors focus on treating the nervous system. One study found that after just eight weeks of chiropractic care, nearly 60% of autistic children showed significant improvements in their symptoms. And while more research is needed to confirm these findings, there's no doubt that chiropractic care can be a helpful addition to an autistic child's treatment plan.
