Additional Autism Information for Parents

What can I do if I think my child has autism?

It is very important to act early in order to help your child reach his or her full potential. Talk with your child’s doctor or nurse. If you or your doctor has a concern about your child’s development, ask for a referral to see a developmental pediatrician or other specialist, and contact Minnesota’s early intervention system – Help Me Grow – to discuss your child’s eligibility to receive services.
