Early Social Indicators for Autism Ages 12-24 Months
Autism can be identified in very young children and the sooner it is identified, diagnosed, and treated, the better the prognosis for the child. Here are some early social indicators of Autism for children ages 12-24 months:
Child seems withdrawn, does not seek comfort when distressed, may be overly distressed by separation, has no pretend play or unusual use of toys (e.g., spinning, flicking, or lining up objects), does not imitate, and/or has no interest in peers.
