Yes this! The quicker she is evaluated the quicker she can receive any interventions she might need. when delays like this present themselves with autism or any disorder there is a small window in childhood in which they will be the most effective and most people don't know this. The effectiveness starts to decrease around 7 as brain development starts to slow down. They can still be effective after that, just not to the same degree.
