Early Signs Parents Should Watch For

Understanding Autism

Delayed speech, limited eye contact, poor response to name, and repetitive behaviours can be early warning signs that need assessment.

Early Signs Parents Should Watch For

  • Delayed development of speech and language

  • Lack of meaningful words by 18 months of age

  • Limited eye-to-eye gaze

  • Limited response to name

  • Reduced social smiling or social interaction

  • Repetitive behaviour, whether motor or verbal

Why Early Attention Matters

Early identification leads to better outcomes. If there is any doubt, seek an assessment as early as possible.
