Autism Screening in Houston, Baytown, and Greater Greenspoint, TX
Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism is a developmental condition that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior in varying ways. It can cause challenges with language, social skills, sensory processing, and repetitive behaviors. Because no two children with autism are exactly alike, early recognition and individualized care are essential.
Early Signs Parents May Notice
Parents are often the first to recognize differences in their child’s development. Signs of possible autism include limited eye contact, delayed speech, difficulty with play, heightened reactions to sounds or textures, and a rigid preference for routines. If you notice these or other concerns, it’s important to bring them up during your child’s visits so our pediatric team can evaluate further.
