There is no single test for Autism Spectrum Disorder (autism test). The diagnosing professional(s) will utilise special tests and tools designed to detect autism, however this process involves careful observation of the child and discussion with carers rather than something simple like a blood test.

The right choice of toy for someone with Autism is one that helps to encourage play skills (its okay if it's THEIR type of play. It doesn't have to look like "normal" play), facilitates the development of the child, and provides them with an outlet for their endless energy. 

The end of year holiday period can be a really tough time for children, adolescents, adults and families alike, with lots of change and unpredictable shifts in daily routines. The holidays can be particularly tricky for Autistic people.

We are excited to announce that we are now writing a monthly blog to be featured on the Kiddipedia website!
