There are many early indicators of Autism in children under the age of three, but up until recently, we have lacked the knowledge and know-how of how to identify these children. Here are some indicators of concern:
Child does not babble (bababa, mamama) or gesture (point, wave) by 12 months of age. Child does not say single words by 16 months of age, and does not utter 2-word spontaneous phrases by 24 months. Also of concern is if the child loses language after having used it.
