Infant To Six Months, |
By One Year Old, |
When the autism signs start becoming clearer by the month,
you began thinking about all the things other babys
are doing that your baby hasn't even tried to do. You start
wondering if your baby is just shy, deaf, or just delayed.
We were in denial about the lack of eye contact, ignored
the Delayed Speech and justified to ourselves all the
milestones our child was truly missing.
When my son didn't make eye contact, it was not something
I thought I would need to take him to the doctor for.
But the lack of eye contact, no babbling or smiling back at us
were all signs of Autism that I did not see.
Sometimes trouble breast feeding your infant can
be an Early Symptom of Autism.
I got a book about the Stages Of Child Development
and started taking notes of the milestones that typical children
his age were hitting and comparing them with where my child was.
I monitored my own sons benchmarks to know what
areas he needed to work on.
For a more comprehensive list
of delayed milestones and what to look for in babies,
The Early Signs of Autism, and Autism In Toddlers.
Looking back the signs had been there in front of us all the way
to the first few months of his life. We had missed the simple tasks
he just wasn't even trying to do. Such as, lift his head up while laying
on his tummy so he could look around. Not reaching for a baby
rattle to shake it.
You could use this Autism symptoms checklist to learn the
Early Signs Of Autism. Know the development of typical
children at different ages to see if there are any milestones
your child might be delayed in. Research shows that the
earlier you can get a Autism Diagnosis, the better your
child's Autism prognosis will be.
