EARLY INDICATORS OF AUTISM

It is a worrisome experience when a parent has a sense that something is not quite right about how their child is developing. Sometimes, a child may very well simply have a delay in reaching a few developmental milestones in, but other times, it may be something more. 

The following signs may be possible indicators of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

  • Does not respond to their name by 12 months of age and may seem hard of hearing.

  • Does not point to objects to share interest with others by 14 months of age.

  • Avoids eye contact and wants to be alone.

  • Does not speak, or uses very few words at 18 months of age.

  • Displays behavioural difficulties (e.g., overreacts to small changes, shows a limited range of interest, has trouble sleeping/toileting/eating a variety of foods).

  • Regression or loss of previously learned skills.

Research continues to prove that early diagnosis and intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder is key to achieving long-term positive improvement in development.
