Русский (Россия) Your child well being and future directly depends on your today's actions. Don't postpone any treatment if the opportunity comes your way - remember "time" is not our side, and time is not a resource you can buy or borrow. "Early Intervention" means a higher chance of success in a child's recovery from ASD.
Let me illustrate an opposite example: if you accidentally cut your finger with a knife, all you need to do is stop bleeding and then the body will take care of the wound and heal itself over time. This kind of injury is the case when time is on the side of the healing process. However, it is the opposite case when healing autism where time is not on our side.
Imagine you planted a young tree (sapling) in the forest. In case when a just little amount of sunlight reaches this young sprout because other trees' branches cover most of the sky, the tree's growth will be slow and the body will be weak. The sooner you remove obstacles preventing sunlight from reaching your tree, i.e. cut the other trees' branches to give more sunlight to your young one, the faster and stronger it will grow. In this analogy, the young tree is the brain and nervous system of your kid. The sooner you start removing the obstacles, which prevent your child's normal neuro-development, the better chance to kid to develop into a more or less neurotypical adult.

The Truth about Early Intervention, Uduak Osom, M.A., CCC-SLP
Some parents with children diagnosed with developmental disabilities sometimes find it difficult taking the steps in identifying appropriate programs that will optimize their child’s learning potential. The term ‘Early Intervention,’ has become so overused that parents with newly diagnosed children with delays or disabilities either go into overdrive mode or completely shut down. Rather than gravitating towards one of those two extremes, I say, slow down and enjoy your child. Just put one foot forward. Early Intervention does not mean you need to act right this minute! It does not necessarily mean tomorrow either. Early Intervention is not going ‘fix,’ your child. You are your child’s support system and taking your time to figure things out will only help you, your child and your family. You will maximize your child’s learning by discovering how to help your child, not necessarily who should help your child. I encourage parents to do their research and find the program that best meets their family lifestyle and also support their goals for their child.
