Although it can be hard to spot the early signs, children with autism develop differently from other infants. For example, they have difficulties with social communication and interaction.
A child is not likely to display every symptom of autism exactly as the textbook says; however, there are 10 signs of autism to watch out for which we highlight below:
- Inability to relate to children or adults
- Poor speech or lack of speech
- Over-sensitive or under-sensitive to sound and light
- Difficulty dealing with changes in routine
- Inappropriate laughter or crying
- Lack of awareness to danger
- Hyperactivity or passiveness
- Attachment to objects
- Lack of eye contact
- Lack of understanding of the functionality of a toy
