Early Detection

I am a Disabilities Studies student during a research project, due on Dec. 21, on the early detection of Autism.  I will be working in the field when I graduate next year. I am looking to ask some of the families, about your experiences. Most importantly, how you knew your child needed to be evaluated and then, how your child was diagnosed. My 18 year old daughter was diagnosed with child-on-set schizophrenia at age 14. I knew in my gut something was wrong, but it took me over a year to get the diagnoses, and finally the help she needed. I was hoping to have a dialog with different families to help me better understand the process each of you went through. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sheridith
