Early Indications of Autism:
If your child does none of
these things by age 18 months, then they may be at risk of
developing Autism later on:
|
Does your child ever use
his/her index finger to point, to indicate interest in
something? (Pointing at an object in order to direct
another person's attention to it--not to obtain the item, but
simply to share an interest in it.) |
|
Does your child ever turn
to look in the same direction as an adult is looking? |
|
Does your child ever
pretend, for example, to make a cup of tea using a toy cup and
teapot or pretend other things? |
A 1995 study completed in
England which screened 16,000 children for autism at 18 months found
that children who failed the preceding 3 items were at high risk for
being diagnosed autistic at a later time.
In the study 12 children
failed all 3 items and 10 were later diagnosed as autistic at 3.5
years of age.
