Early Signs of Autism
Is Your Baby showing
Early Signs of Autism?
A parent is most likely the first person to see
the Early Signs of Autism, but the last one
to know what they are.
By the time you have logged on to
your computer and searched for Autism
Signs I am sure your parents, a caregiver or close
friend have all pointed out a thing or two that seems
to be abnormal about your child.
As a parent of an autistic child, I can tell you that If you
suspect that your child might be delayed, then it is already time
to make a doctors appointment. When dealing with
Early Symptoms Of Autism a "wait and see approach" is not
the best thing you can do. It could cost you the most valuable
time you have with your child.
I would like to share this video I saw on Youtube because it is
a great example of the Early Symptoms Of Autism.
The Cute Baby in the video has lack of eye contact,
and there is no cute baby babbling, nor is he trying
to roll over and crawl for even the bright and shiny toys!
How do you know when your child's delayed on their milestones?
When should you worry, when they are nine months old and
still not babbling? When their two years old and not talking?
To answer these questions you need an idea of what age typical
children reach these milestones. The stages of child
development are crucial for a diagnosis of autism,
and for the treatment.
Here is a list of age appropriate milestones and
a list of the most common early symptoms of autism.

I look back now and see so many things I either missed or ignored.
The first thing I noticed with my son was the lack of eye contact
and no cute baby babbling. (Delayed Speech)
It was more then just the eye contact,
it was a level of awareness for anything
and everything around him.
Most babies are curious about the people, the sounds and
the lights in a room. My son never cared who came in
or out, who was laughing or crying. He did not glance up at us,
or wonder what we were doing. The only sounds he appeared to
notice were the ones that seemed to hurt him. He didn't try to
look into mirrors, or try to make noises with the rattles or roll over.
My son did not appropriately play with any toy. I Ignored these
Early Signs of Autism hoping that one day he would just roll over
grab the rattle and shake it and look up at me smiling. I didn't
realize how delayed he was until he was well behind all his a
typical peers. I started reading books on Stages of Child Development
so I could compare my sons milestones with other children. This told
me not only that my son was delayed but told me the signs of Autism
I missed. By the time I noticed any signs I was dealing with
