Autism Spectrum Disorders oftentimes makes it difficult for a child to communicate and relate to others. Symptoms typically appear before a child is 3 years old. To see if your child has an Autism Spectrum Disorder, look for the following signs:
- A delay in learning to talk or not talking at all
- Limited or no eye contact with people
- Little or no pretend play
- Not responding to name at 6 months
- Repetitive behaviors, unusual attachments to objects, and getting upset when routine changes
