How do I know if my child has Autism?

Early Social Indicators of Autism in Children Ages 36-60 Months

The sooner young children with Autism are identified and treated, the better the outcome. Early social indicators of Autism in children ages 36-60 months include: child not initiating play with other children, becoming upset by changes in the environment, and/or a delay or absence of make-believe play.

If you know a child with these early indicators, you may want to have the family seek professional help. You may also be interested in this book of strategies for working with children with Autism: Working With Autism: A "How To" Manual.
