How to recognize early signs of autism.
Key points
- Difficulty with social interaction is the most prominent sign of autism, yet it's easy to miss in early childhood.
- A lack of eye contact is directly related to social deficiencies.
- Children with autism often aren't interested in the games or play that most neurotypical children engage in.
Autism is a condition that tends to be rather difficult to diagnose. There is a saying that if you've met a child with autism, well, you've met one child with autism, because each one is vastly different. This is why it's defined as a spectrum of signs and symptoms that fall under the umbrella of the same category.
