Maribel Hernandez is a mother of two young sons with autism, Max, 12,
and Chris, 10, and she agrees with the importance of early
intervention.
“Sometimes, as parents, we want to justify the behavior of our
children, but we have to admit the behavior is not right,” she says.
“For example, when I noticed my son stopped talking, I justified it
saying that he was just looking for attention.”
UC Davis MIND Institute released this week the largest study to date comparing
the development of Hispanic and non-Hispanic children and found a higher percentage of Hispanic children often have undiagnosed developmental delays, or autism.
