Early Autism Symptoms in Children

  • Disconnection to others (They often don’t pick up social cues)
  • Lack of eye contact
  • Minimal response when their name is called
  • Not mimicking facial expressions
  • Won’t engage in social games (Like peek-a-boo or turn-taking)
  • Won’t imitate actions (Like clapping, banging, or shaking objects together)
  • Frequent and intense emotional outbursts (Especially when routine or environment is changed)
  • Delay in speech and language development (See ages and stages of speech development at www.enrichmenttherapies.com/blog/)
  • Won’t play with and explore toys (Instead of looking at toys, putting them in their mouth, banging them together, or shaking rattles, they throw them aside as if not interested)

Call today to schedule a FREE SCREENING for your child. Don’t take a wait-and-see approach. Early intervention is vital.
