There are currently no medical tests which can diagnose autism. Signs of autism vary from individual to individual. Diagnosis is usually based on careful observation as well as information provided by parents and other caregivers on the child's behavior, communication, social interaction, and developmental levels. There are also a number of screening tests or questionnaires which can be performed, including the CARS rating (Childhood Autism Rating Scale) and CHAT (Checklist for Autism in Toddlers). Diagnosis can be made by pediatricians, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, or by a multi-disciplinary team, usually utilizing an autism symptoms checklist. Children with autism usually display impairments in social, behavioral, and communication skills. Once your child receives a proper diagnosis, there are many natural remedies that can provide support for his or her condition. Focus Formula from Native Remedies (http://www.nativeremedies.com/products/maintain-concentration-focus-formula.html) helps maintain optimal mental focus, concentration, attention span and memory function.
