Are we getting autism diagnosis right? When a child is slow to walk and talk, alarm bells can start to ring for mums and dads who know instinctively that something is not right. In many cases, concerned parents are comforted by doctors who say it's nothing serious and all children develop at different rates. And perhaps the child goes on to grow up normally. But for some children, these developmental delays can be the first signs of something that can stay with them for life. Getting an autism diagnosis can be a confronting experience for a child. The impact of an autism diagnosis is also felt by parents. For some, it's a welcomed answer to difficult behaviour or even aggression from their child in their early years. For other parents, it's a devastating prospect that their child may not be like other children, and their doctors don't really know why. For some, an autism diagnosis is the only way to get much needed funding for their child's needs. This week Insight looks at what an autism diagnosis actually means - for individuals, for families, for clinicians, and for the healthcare system.

What do you do when communication with your child is seemingly impossible or even a simple hug could send them into a frightful fit? Autism is a brain disorder that effects the social and communication skills of one out of 500 kids and is more common than down syndrome, multiple sclerosis or cystic fibrosis. The number of diagnosed autism cases is growing at an alarming rate, up 273% over the last ten years. Through first hand interviews with doctors, families and autistics themselves we seek to understand some of the answers to a disorder that still is without a potential cure and has no single effective treatment.
