Is this your child?

You have been wondering about autism.

Whether the thought came from you, school, or a doctor, you can start with a calm conversation and a clearer picture of your child.

What matters now

Autism cannot be confirmed or ruled out from a web page.

What you have noticed is real, and it is worth understanding. These four answers are the practical starting point.

What you may notice
Differences in communication, play, and social connection — how your child shares attention, responds to others, and reacts to change or to the senses.
What a clinician would look at
How your child communicates, plays, relates, responds to the world, and manages everyday life — describing strengths as well as the support that may help.
The smallest next step
Tell us what you have noticed and who else is involved. A free conversation explains whether Cornerstone can assess the concern and who would take part.
Where it runs
Speech, occupational therapy, and Elements early intervention run at both centres. Psychology and behavioural support is at Kalyan Nagar.

Formal diagnosis may involve more than one professional. Consulting developmental psychologists can be part of an autism diagnostic assessment, alongside your paediatrician where involved.

Nothing you did caused this. Autism is not caused by a parenting mistake, and no cure is promised here — support builds on your child’s strengths.

Three common starting points

You do not need certainty before asking. Start from the place that sounds most like yours.

  • You have noticed a differenceSomething about play, communication, connection, or reactions keeps bringing you back to the same question.
  • Someone else raised itA teacher, relative, or paediatrician mentioned autism and you want a careful professional view.
  • A diagnosis is newYou have the name and now need a practical picture of what support should come next.

What support may include

Support may cover communication, daily skills, sensory needs, behaviour, early development, or learning, depending on your child.

What support may include

Speech and language therapy supports words and other ways of communicating. Occupational therapy works on daily skills and sensory needs. Psychology-led support at Kalyan Nagar can address emotional regulation, behaviour, and assessment.

Elements is currently one-to-one early intervention for children roughly under three. Learning and educational support is available at Kalyan Nagar once school needs enter the picture.

How approaches are chosen

Clinicians choose tools around your child’s profile and goals; no single programme is presented as the answer.

More detail

How approaches are chosen

Clinicians may draw on DIR/Floortime, Hanen More Than Words, SCERTS, or AAC, including picture-based and speech-generating communication. The approach depends on your child’s profile and goals.

We do not promise a cure, push a programme, or treat a label as a complete description of your child.

Common questions

  • Where do we start after a diagnosis?

    Start with your child’s current strengths and the parts of daily life that are hardest. The next step may be one service, several coordinated services, or guidance for home and school.

  • Can you predict school or independence?

    No one page or assessment can promise a future. A useful plan builds communication, daily skills, learning, and participation step by step, then reviews what is changing.
