Early intervention can make all the difference in the world for children with autism, and it's good for new parents to know the red flags, the first year is critical...
- you want to see that your infant is looking at you
- is interested in the sound of your voice
- demonstrates interest in engaging with other people
- begins to understand later on that 1st year to respond to their own name
- be wary of the good baby syndrome
- be wary of the inconsoleable child, who does not look to people for comfort
- lack of language skills, excessive hand flapping, a fixation on objects, lack of eye contact
Early intervention is the key, and parents can start watching for signs soon after birth
