Signs and Symptoms of Autism

January 24th 2011 15:57
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) will begin to appear before a child turns 3 years of age and last throughout his lifetime, although symptoms may actually improve in the long term. Some children with an ASD exhibit signs that there might be future problems within the first few months of life. In others, however, symptoms might not even appear until 24 months or later. Some children with an ASD will appear to develop normally until around 18 to 24 months of age and then they either stop gaining new skills, or they lose the skills entirely that they once had.

A person with an ASD might:


Not respond to their name by 12 months
Not point at objects to show interest (point at an airplane flying over) by 14 months
Not play "pretend" games (pretend to "feed" a doll) by 18 months
Avoid eye contact and want to be alone
Have trouble understanding other people's feelings or talking about their own feelings
Have delayed speech and language skills
Repeat words or phrases over and over (echolalia)
Give unrelated answers to questions
Get upset by minor changes
Have obsessive interests
Flap their hands, rock their body, or spin in circles
Have unusual reactions to the way things sound, smell, taste, look, or feel
