Since has been a lot of coverage of Autism in the news, lately, you might be wondering what are the signs of Autism? Here is a list of signs that can be associated with Autism. If you see these signs in your child, speak to their doctor about having them evaluated. The sooner that Autism is diagnosed, the better the chances are at treating it. 1. The child does not reach developmental milestones on time. Each child develops differently. Some children will crawl at four months. while others will not start until they are several months older. This can be perfectly normal. The problem to watch for is when every milestone is much later than usual. If your child is not meeting the developmental stages talk with their doctor.
2. Child does not talk. Children start talking at different ages. Some will begin speaking when very young. Others will seem silent and then just start blurting out whole sentences one day. This can be very normal. However, if your child does not have any babbling type talk by the age of one, this could be a cause for concern. Most children say some words by the time they are sixteen months. If your child is not, ask their doctor if they think an evaluation is necessary. 3. No eye contact. Most babies and children look at you when you are talking to them. But autistic children will often not give you eye contact. It will appear they are looking off into a distance instead of paying attention to you. They will not point to objects. They will not look at something you are trying to show them. Instead they look past it. 4. Child does not show emotion. Autistic children often do not show any emotion. They do not smile back when a person smiles at them. They do not show any concern when someone around them is expressing pain, or crying. On the physical side, the autistic child does not usually like to be held or cuddled. They will not reach up for their parents to hold them. 5. Likes to play by their self. The Autistic child usually will play alone. They feel more comfortable being by themself. They have a hard time making friends. They do not know how to relate to other kids. They do not understand when another child is joking with them. They take everything said to them literally. 6. The child loses skills they knew. The child may have learned to talk, and then, it seems as if they forgot how. They will learn a new skill and then a week later have no idea how to do it. Autistic children often lose skills they have learned. These are just a few of the more typical signs of Autism. If you notice any of them in your children, talk to their doctor. All children with Autism will not display every sign. And not every child that shows some of these signs has Autism. Getting your child evaluated as soon as you suspect a problem is very important. This will either allow treatment for autism to begin sooner, if autism is the case, or lead to a diagnosis of a different problem or just put your mind at ease. Even if there is nothing wrong, it is better to be safe. And again, the earlier treatment can be started, the better for the child.
