Learn the Early Signs of Autism

One of the most important things you can do as a parent or caregiver is to learn the early signs of autism and become familiar with the typical developmental milestones that your child should be reaching.

6m By 6 Months

  • Few or no big smiles or other warm, joyful and engaging expressions
  • Limited or no eye contact

9m By 9 Months

  • Little or no back-and-forth sharing of sounds, smiles or other facial expressions

12m By 12 Months

  • Little or no babbling
  • Little or no back-and-forth gestures such as pointing, showing, reaching or waving
  • Little or no response to name

16m By 16 Months

  • Very few or no words

24m By 24 Months

  • Very few or no meaningful, two-word phrases (not including imitating or repeating)

At Any Age — Red Flags

  • Loss of previously acquired speech, babbling or social skills
  • Avoidance of eye contact
  • Persistent preference for solitude
  • Difficulty understanding other people's feelings
  • Delayed language development
  • Persistent repetition of words or phrases (echolalia)
  • Resistance to minor changes in routine or surroundings
  • Restricted interests
  • Repetitive behaviors (flapping, rocking, spinning, etc.)
  • Unusual and intense reactions to sounds, smells, tastes, textures, lights and/or colors

Important to Remember

Not all children with autism show all the signs. Many children who don\'t have autism show a few. That\'s why professional evaluation is crucial.

Recent research confirms that appropriate screening can determine whether a child is at risk for autism as young as one year. While every child develops differently, we also know that early treatment improves outcomes, often dramatically.
