Supports for infants who might be autistic should (1) understand and respond to babies' needs (2) be individualised, affirming and child led (3) support parents who might be neurodivergent (4) promote quality of life and (5) not suppress autistic behaviour https://t.co/XDJj6AEm5l

In 2022 the CAPTeam @latrobe surveyed the community for perspectives on early autism supports. With Govt planning to fund new pilot programs - what is 'very early support' for infants with signs of autism, and how valuable could it be? https://t.co/8vSkSp1plf @ConversationEDU
