Diagnosis of Children with ASD

The main signs for early childhood autism self-diagnosis:

• Detachment, sadness;
• Focus on specific subjects or forms of activity;
• Absence of emotions, weak connections to family;
• Disinterest in the outside world, unlike normally developing children;
• Difficulty in developing basic self-care skills;
• Delyed intellectual development;
• Antisocial behaviour.

Most parents that notice these signs come to the conclusion that a professional testing is necessary to diagnose autism. This is a good idea, because these symptoms can also accompany other mental disorders.

The seven best methods for diagnosing children with autism

• • ADOS

The test is performed at early preschool age. It includes four blocks of questions. ADOS is considered the best classical method for diagnosing autism by testing various indicators of the patient’s well-being.

• • ADI-R

ADI-R is a professional questionnaire administered by a psychologist working with a family of an autistic child.

• • CHAT

This is a program for examining preschool children. It consists of 23 questions for a child’s parent or guardian.

• • CASD

CASD is another interactive inventory that includes many detailed questions divided into 15 separate blocks. These questions are asked to members of a child’s family for a comprehensive behavioural analysis.

• • LEITER

LEITER consists of intellectual diagnostics of autistic children for evaluation of brain activity, non-verbal intelligence and cognitive functions.

• • REP-3

Modular testing of a child’s health status consisting of 172 tasks or assignments divided into blocks. REP-3 focuses on determining correspondence between age and level of development.

• ATEC

This is a comprehensive diagnostic technique for a child’s socialisation, sensory input, behaviour, cognitive functions, speech, and overall health.

Performing specialised diagnostic testing for children with autism is an important step towards successful therapy.

Modern tests make it possible to determine the stage of autism progression and to develop an effective treatment strategy. It is important to remember that all traditional procedures and programs offered by average clinics are aimed at correction just the symptoms of autism — but it is much more effective to eliminate the cause of the disease and all of its symptoms.

Cellular treatment of childhood autism is a unique methodology that restores the correct structure of the brain and eliminates signs of the disease.

Advice for parents of an autistic child from specialists at the Mardaleishvili Medical Centre:

1. Do not procrastinate in choosing the course of treatment — the sooner you start, the better the effects you will achieve.
2. Do not refuse traditional supportive treatment — a combination of treatment approaches will give the best results. However, you need to first find the opportunity to undergo a stem cell transplant procedure, which will offer most successful results against ASD.
3. Work tirelessly with a child for their comprehensive development — this is the only way of maximizing and strengthening the intended therapeutic effects.
