OUR MISSION

WHO WE ARE

At Discover Autism, we’re on a mission to make sure every child gets the earliest possible diagnosis—and the critical support that comes with it! We focus on children ages 0-3, because the earlier autism is detected, the earlier intervention can begin, and that makes a world of difference.

The reality? Long waitlists are a huge roadblock for many families—sometimes stretching for years. And that’s where we come in! We provide funding for private autism diagnoses, particularly for children who are already stuck in those endless waitlist loops. By helping them get diagnosed early (before they even turn 3!), we open the door to essential therapies like speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and ABA therapy—all covered by insurance!

Our goal is to make sure no child is left waiting. We partner with private psychiatrists and neuropsychologists to provide fast and accurate diagnoses while keeping families connected to ongoing support and services. It’s all about giving kids the early care they deserve and setting them up for a brighter future!

THE FACTS

1 in 31 (or 3.2%) of children in the US were identified with Autism, per the CDC’s 2025 report.

WHY WE MATTER

An early diagnosis of autism is vital for a child’s developmental trajectory. As caregivers, we need to take action. Here’s why:

Critical Window for Brain Development

Children’s brains are most adaptable or “plastic” during early years of life. This means the brain can better respond to learning and behavioral interventions. If autism is diagnosed early, targeted therapies can lead to more significant developmental gains.

Fostering Communication and Social Skills

An early diagnosis can improve these skills before they fall behind their peers. Speech therapy and social skills training, initiated early, help children communicate and engage with others more effectively.

Behavioral Management and Emotional Regulation

Without a proper diagnosis, children may exhibit meltdowns, aggression, or self injury due to difficulties in processing sensory information or communicating their needs. Early diagnosis and therapies will aid in reducing these behaviors and improving the child’s quality of life.

Educational Support and Parental Enpowerment

Early diagnosis allows families to access specialized plans such as Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) to ensure their child receives accommodations in school. Early diagnosis can also help parents feel empowered to learn, cope, connect and support their child with autism.
