We live in a world that sometimes views autistic people as abnormal or deficient, and caregivers can play an essential role in counteracting those labels. Here is a recent question from a caregiver who wants to know how they can build a healthy foundation for their child’s self-esteem.

For some children, medication may play an important role in managing symptoms and co-occurring conditions associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). When used in conjunction with behavioral and therapeutic interventions, medication can improve quality of life and overall functioning for autistic children.

Under a whole-child model, experts from multiple disciplines work together to develop an individualized care plan that helps each child make progress with their developmental goals. A truly comprehensive care team, like the one outlined here, addresses the whole child’s needs to ensure better long-term outcomes.

Mitochondrial health can play a key role in autism care. Some children with autism experience mitochondrial dysfunction, which can affect energy production in cells and impact development, behavior, and overall wellbeing. A personalized approach that includes nutritional support, medical therapies, and targeted assessments can help improve mitochondrial function and support a child’s unique biology.

On Autistic Pride Day, we honor the diverse identities, experiences, and strengths of autistic people around the world. Today provides us with an important reminder that autistic brains are different, not deficient or in need of fixing. Differences are part of being human, and when we accept and celebrate our own and others’ differences, we pave the way for a more just and inclusive world.

Let’s clear up some common myths about early intervention. Early support isn’t about limiting a child by labeling them; it’s about unlocking a child’s potential during the most adaptable years of brain development. Accurate information empowers families to take action early, ask questions, and make confident decisions about care.

I collected my most asked questions about autism diagnostics from parents and caregivers. SWIPE to learn more!

Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental difference, and progress looks different for each autistic child. Some children continue to meet diagnostic criteria as they grow, and others may not. Whether or not a child continues to meet the diagnostic criteria for autism throughout childhood, the right support can help them overcome challenges, build their confidence, and learn new skills.

I get asked often, “Why does early diagnosis make such a difference?” Because it opens the door to communication, connection, and care. After receiving a formal diagnosis, children have opportunities to build skills during key developmental windows and reduce frustration and behavioral challenges. Families also have the tools they need to support their child’s growth.

The “wait and see” approach can delay the support a child truly needs. When a child shows early signs of autism or developmental delays, time matters. The earlier we begin support, the greater the opportunity to strengthen communication, social, and learning skills during the most critical years of brain development. Seeking help early is a proactive, compassionate step forward.

Early childhood intervention (ECI) can make a powerful difference in a child’s life.
Between birth and age 5, children experience a critical period of brain development, and early support can help build communication, social, emotional, cognitive, and motor skills that last a lifetime. An effective ECI program looks at the whole child, combining therapies and medical care, while encouraging active family involvement every step of the way.

When we meet each child where they are and nurture their unique strengths, we create more opportunities for growth, connection, and thriving.

Developmental therapies, such as speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, and music therapy, support children with cognitive, social, emotional, and motor skills, among others. These therapies help children to become more independent, confident, and able to participate in daily activities and navigate the world around them.
