Autistic symptoms at 1 year old?

summary

The National Institute of mental health points out that the difference between autistic and non autistic babies can be seen when children are 12 to 36 months old. Experts say that if autism is discovered early, some intensive treatment can cure or alleviate the mental illness.

Autistic symptoms at 1 year old?

Children with autism generally don't learn to talk like other children when they are 12 months old. Most babies begin to say their first words when they are 12 to 16 months old. But children with autism, on the other hand, may not. If children who begin to learn to speak or are able to speak simple words suddenly stop speaking, they may also have signs of autism.

By the time children are about one year old, they can already make meaningful gestures. When they want someone to hold them, they may wave their hands or raise their arms. They may also point to an object or move it to their parents to tell them they like it. However, for children with autism, they don't make such social gestures. For example, some 1-year-old autistic babies start to babble when they are very young, but suddenly stop.

At a very young age, children enjoy hugging or being held by others. However, children with autism will not respond to such behavior as other children without autism. Many 1-year-old children will make some sounds to attract your attention or make some intimate facial communication with you, but autistic children will not.

matters needing attention

One year old children with autism may not play with toys like their peers. Some one-year-old children may feel very happy when they pour things out of the container or make a mess of things, but autistic children spend a lot of time arranging such things in a special order.
