Autism Signs
Autism is a disorder that affects people in most spheres of their lives; signs of autism can be seen in different levels, such as: interaction and relationship with the others; activities and domains of interest; communication and use of language. If you want to handle a possible autism, you should know its signs; six in a thousand children might be autistic.
Here is a list of autism signs, related to babies and children:
- seems to be indifferent to what is around him or her
- he or she is resistant at cuddling
- is not interested in toys, but seems to be fond of only one toy (or object), in particular
- looks like he or she doesn’t know how to use toys, but he/ she is too busy lining up objects- including toys
- the child does not show the others the objects he is interested in
- he or she doesn’t respond to others, in general, not even to name
- the kid avoids eye contact and smiles very rarely
- he or she doesn’t speak much and the vocal pattern is unsynchronized
- seems to feel better when playing alone and decreases social skills and language capabilities
- the activity level is either very increased or extremely reduced
- the baby doesn’t make any kind of gesture that can mean anything- like pointing or babbling, by one year old
- the kid doesn’t speak any word until he is sixteen months and can’t combine two words until two years old
- the child has fixations on objects or parts of them
- he or she is not behaving spontaneous
- he or she does repetitive things, like using the same language, twirling things or hand-flapping
Autism may be present from birth, but its signs can appear months or years later. Despite the fact that many autism children used to be diagnosed as deaf, they actually don’t lose their hearing capabilities. Actually, they can be fascinated by a certain noise, but can also ignore those who make most of the children attentive.
Don’t panic if you know your child some of the things listed above, every symptom can be explained differently and have multiple causes, except for autism. On the other side, a child with great language skills can be diagnosed with autism- actually, the Asperger Syndrome allows people to have excellent language capabilities. When you notice problems in all levels of development, more intense as for usual children, it is clear that you are confronting a specific pattern. First, you should consult a pediatrician and he will tell you what the next step is. In order to avoid the confusion caused by terminology (as long as children with similar syndromes are treated as autistics), it is better if the diagnosis talks about the cognitive level, severity, associated medical condition and clinical traits. Older children (and adults) don’t do well on tests of face emotional recognition, for example.
If you happen to see signs of autism at a dear child, don’t consider him or her odd and don’t refuse to accept the truth. Remember that autistic persons have other capabilities, such as memorization and some artistic skills; make them self confident by developing the things they can do, instead of getting them limited by those they can’t.
