      Hi,Normally professionals are unwilling to label children with an ASD diagnosis until at least the age of 3 this is because children develop at different rates and once a diagnosis has been given it is there for life. My best advice is to raise concerns with your GP and monitor yourself using a diary so you can see the progress and document your concerns.Catherine

      My son was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 2.5 years. Your health visitor can check your babies development at any age. Most children follow a similar pattern in regards to development, some children who develop a bit behind their peers turn out on the same level by the time they start nursery. I suggest if you have any concerns about your child you speak to your health visitor who can either reassure you or advise you further. Sam
