Recognizing Signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder in Young Children

As a parent, it's natural to worry about your child's development. If you suspect your child may have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), it's important to seek expert advice as early intervention can make a significant difference in a child's progress. Here are some signs of ASD in young children to look out for:

  1. Social interaction: Children with ASD may struggle with social interaction, such as making eye contact, responding to their name, and showing interest in other people.

  2. Communication: Delayed or unusual language development, such as not responding to verbal cues or repeating words or phrases, can be a sign of ASD.

  3. Repetitive behaviors: Children with ASD may have repetitive behaviors, such as lining up toys or flapping their hands.

  4. Sensory issues: Sensory processing difficulties, such as being overly sensitive to sounds or textures, can also be a sign of ASD.
