Autism is a neural development disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and communication processes. The difficulty to relay information can become so severe that the person is limited to repetitive behavior.
Autism symptoms can present very early, before a child reaches the age of three. Many children with autism live under supervision through adulthood, while some make it on their own as adults.
Children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may:
Left untreated or unmanaged, ASD has been linked to intellectual disability, difficulties in motor coordination and attention, and physical health issues like sleep or gastrointestinal complications.
Disability benefits for children with autism can support special treatments, education, and medications for the condition. Research has consistently shown that early diagnosis and intervention gives a child with autism the best chance of improving everyday functions, and maximizing their progress and potential.
Autism disability benefits in Canada come in the form of the Child Disability Tax Credit and Child Disability Benefit. These autism tax credits support children by helping them keep up with their peers through funding treatments, and maintain a healthy standard of living.
Along with the Disability Tax Credit for autism, the Autism Treatment Network (ATN) is ground-breaking network of hospitals, physicians, and researchers across North America. They work together in developing the best approach to care for kids and toddlers affect by autism. You can locate the nearest ATN center near you through a simple online search.
