• 0:41
  autism, you know, one of the most interesting things is that
• 0:43
  autism exists in people from birth.
• 0:46
  You know, you're born with autism.
• 0:47
  It's not something that just develops, it's something that is
• 0:48
  there. It's neural, neural
• 0:50
  developmental, which means that it does increase in its
• 0:52
  potential of certain kind of characteristics and traits the
• 0:55
  older you get. And some things are more
• 0:58
  prominent than others and that's just the nature of autism.
• 1:01
  Now before I go any further, I just want to say that I do have

• 1:15
  So why is early intervention important?
• 1:18
  Now, usually a person on the autism special will be diagnosed
• 1:21
  between the ages of like 3 and five years old.
• 1:24
  Now. This is because a lot of the
• 1:26
  research was done and a lot of the kind of diagnostic criteria
• 1:29
  isn't able to be completed until a person is around 3 years old.
• 1:34
  Now. They are diagnosing children
• 1:37
  younger than three. Now.
• 1:38
  It's relatively a new thing where you have someone on the
• 1:41
  autism spectrum diagnosed maybe 18 months old, which is really,
• 1:45
  really super young. And I believe that there are
• 1:48
  more advances in how they set an examine a person for autism
• 1:52
  spectrum condition. But the beauty of having a
• 1:54
  diagnosis early is that you can get the intervention in early.
• 1:57
  Now, the the intervention is not like you're trying to correct
• 2:00
  something that's wrong with somebody.
• 2:01
  That's not what I'm trying to say.
• 2:03
  The intention is having access to support and help where you'll
• 2:06
  need it. So autistic individuals would
• 2:08
  really benefit from having early intervention on someone
• 2:11
  understanding their mind or their outburst and their
• 2:14
  emotional control. So the parents get early
• 2:16
  intervention for them so they know how to handle and deal with
• 2:19
  their child better, which means that the child has a stable and
• 2:22
  more inclusive environment that they can then thrive for as they
• 2:25
  grow older. Because you got to think about
• 2:27
  it, if you, if you're like me and you went to school, you
• 2:30
  know, with, with autism, but you didn't have any help there and
• 2:33
  school's a struggle. And they, you know, didn't like
• 2:35
  school at all by the time I got to an adult.
• 2:37
  And then I realized, Oh my goodness.
• 2:38
  So I had support. If I had intervention earlier
• 2:41
  on, then school would have been a different experience really.
• 2:43
  And This is why it's so important.
• 2:45
  You want to give everybody the best chance of life and by
• 2:48
  giving them early intervention until you have access to
• 2:50
  support, therapies, parent coaching, all that kind of
• 2:54
  stuff. Then the child, the person on
• 2:56
  the autism spectrum has their best chance of life to create
• 2:59
  the best ability for them. Now guys, if you think this
