Draft national autism guideline published

Cody is just over three-and-a-half years old. He only started using recognisable words about a year ago, and still can’t string them together. Increasingly, he screams and cries when he doesn’t get his way, like when he is offered food other than oven-baked chips. He tends to play by himself instead of with others, and has limited eye contact. He frequently doesn’t respond to his name being called.
