Children under 3 years old are not fully developed, so it is difficult to distinguish. If autism is detected promptly and appropriately treated, your child will become a normal person and integrate into society.
Children with autism have many characteristics ranging from mild to severe. However, don't panic if your baby sometimes has one or two of these symptoms. Here are some signs that your baby may have autism:
From 2 to 3 months of age, your baby does not make eye contact.
At 3 months, your baby doesn't smile when he sees you or hears your voice.
At 6 months old, the baby doesn't smile or show any joy
Give your child certain attention to early detection of autism
Around 8 months old, your baby won't follow your gaze when you turn away from your baby.
Around 9 months old, babies can't babble.
1 year old, your baby does not turn his head to you when you call out his name.
At 1 year old, the baby does not speak but is well aware of surrounding sounds.
1 year old, the baby does not know how to "communicate" with you.
1 year old, the baby did not know how to wave goodbye.
1 year old, the baby does not know how to follow your hand pointing in a certain direction.
16 months old, she cannot say a word.
18 months old, babies don't know how to point to an object that they enjoy.
At 24 months old, babies cannot say meaningful double phrases.
At any age, babies have absolutely no grasp of skills that they used to know before.
If you have one of the above symptoms, report to your pediatrician or visit a hospital to prevent early autism.
