How do I know if my child has Autism?

Early Indicators of Autism

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.
