Right now, children with autism in San Antonio may have to wait up to three years before receiving treatment. A new partnership between UTSA, Children's Hospital of San Antonio, and the Autism Treatment Center may cut that wait time dramatically. "Our goal is to assess and evaluate kids who we suspect could have autism," Dr. Andrew Martinez, Psychologist and Clinical Director of the Autism Clinic at The Children's Hospital of San Antonio said. The earlier that can happen, the better for both children and their parents. At the Autism Treatment Center of San Antonio, it's happening a lot sooner. Dr. Martinez said, "Research has shown if they get it early on they may not need certain services long-term."
