Early Symptoms Of Autism

Early symptoms of autism can be recognized if a parent educates themselves about such disorders early when their child is new born for example.

Every baby’s growth is measured in terms of milestones and if the baby reaches them as per their age, then the doctor says that he or she is normal and doing wonderful.

With autism children in the beginning you notice that the child is growing normally and all the other milestones are being met including the first smile, recognition and everything else.

So what exactly are the early symptoms of autism? Here are some symptoms that many babies with autism have and it is not a sure shot way of saying your baby has autism based on these symptoms either. If you find any of these things, then you should discuss it with your doctor.

Early Symptoms of Autism:

Your baby is six months old and still not smiling
Does not babble or use any other gesture to point out until the age of 12 months
Cannot use even single words until 16 months
Does not form a two word sentence until the age of 24 months
No language development or regression in social skills

Even as babies, children with autism avoid eye contact with just about everyone including their own parents. They totally ignore people who come and go around them and stay rather aloof. Autism actually gets diagnosed only after the child reaches three years of age and until then, no symptom can be taken as a confirmation for autism.
