Are you providing care for an individual with autism? You’re probably faced with many challenges on a daily basis. Don’t worry; Mass Care Link is here for you. We offer our services to provide support during the demanding journey of caring for someone at home.

We understand that autism may be difficult to recognize in individuals. Many studies have found that the following signs could indicate autism in a person.

  • Not responding when being called.
  • Not showing any particular interest in things around them.
  • Having difficulties looking directly into another person’s eyes.
  • Having a difficult time speaking.
  • Having a tendency of repeating the same word time and time again.
  • Reacting differently to touch, smell, and taste.

If the person shows any of the above symptoms you should consult with a healthcare professional to ensure their well being
