Primele semne de autism la copii. Psiholog: „De multe ori, părinții simt că ceva e diferit. Intuiția lor trebuie ascultată”

The incidence of autism in children has significantly increased globally, including in Romania, prompting parents to be vigilant about early signs. Psychologist Adina Lupașcu emphasizes the importance of trusting parental intuition and early evaluation for better outcomes. Current data shows that 1 in 36 children are diagnosed with autism, with around 2,000 new cases annually in Romania. While the exact causes remain unclear, they are believed to involve a mix of genetic and environmental factors. Early signs can manifest before the typical diagnosis age of 3 to 5 years.
