Early Social Indicators of Autism in Children Ages 6-12 Months
Even very young children can be diagnosed and treated for Autism, in fact, the sooner a child is identified, the better the outcome. Early social indicators of Autism in children ages 6-12 months include the child:
not being affectionate, being difficult to engage in games, not waving "bye-bye", having no interest in toys, showing distress when mother leaves the room, having an absent or delayed social smile, not repeat activities that s/he enjoys, not extending toys to others, and/or not differentiating strangers from family.
If your child has these early indicators of Autism, you may want to seek professional help. For a book of strategies for working with children with Autism or PDD, you may be interested in: Working With Autism: A "How To" Manual.
