6. Autism can be detected before a child is two years old


Is the answer TRUE, FALSE or DEBATABLE?
Answer...
DEBATEABLE
By the age of 18 months, if a child doesn’t pass typical development milestones
such as following a parent’s gaze, this places them in an ‘at risk’ category. But these
early signs are not conclusive. To date, autism cannot be reliably diagnosed before
the age of two, but improved ‘screening tools’ for infants may change this.
