Autism spectrum disorder (or ASD) is distinguished by a wide variation of social, communication, and cyclical behaviors that are considered somewhat out of character for children. Every autistic child will experience symptoms differently, from the mild to severe spectrum.
Following behaviors are considered common early warning symptoms of autism in children.
1. Disconnection to Others: Children with autism often seem distant or disconnected to loved ones.
2. Apparent Lack of Empathy: Children with autism have difficultly empathizing with others.
3. Indifferent to Human Interaction: Children with autism don’t engage in staring at the faces of others, they often don’t respond when their name is called.
4. Emotional Outbursts: Children with autism can display unbalanced emotional reactions to normal situations. For instance, they throw a temper tantrum inappropriately or show physically aggressive behavior to themselves, their parents, siblings, or other children.
5. Delayed Language Development: By 3-years of age, the majority of infants start to babble or mimic the language of those they interact with, actually pronouncing a single word when they point to an object.
6. Prone to Non-Verbal Communication: Due to the fact that autistic children don’t develop verbal communication skills as early as others; they may have a propensity to nonverbal communication. For instance, they may resort to visual or physical means of communication, such as drawing pictures or using sign language.
7. Repetitive Behaviors: Children with autism are somewhat prone to repetitive behaviors. For instance, they may arrange and rearrange the same group of objects, rock, flutter their hands, or repeat the same word or phrase in what appears an obsessive manner.
8. Pica: Children with autism are prone to pica, which describes a behavioral tendency to eat objects that are not food.
9. Sensitivity to External Stimuli: Sensitivity to external stimuli is another early warning sign of autism. For example, autistic individuals may become stressed or agitated to certain noises, lights, smells, tastes, or textures.
