Early signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
typically emerge within the first few years of life. These signs can vary
widely among individuals but may include:
1. Lack of or limited eye contact: Difficulty
maintaining eye contact or actively avoiding it during interactions.
2. Delayed or unusual communication: Late onset of
babbling, limited use of gestures (e.g., pointing, waving), or lack of interest
in sharing experiences through language.
3. Repetitive behaviours: Engaging in repetitive
movements (e.g., hand-flapping, rocking), fixating on specific objects or
topics, or adhering rigidly to routines.
4. Difficulty with social interaction: Preferring
solitary play, showing little interest in peers, or struggling to understand
social cues and norms.
5. Sensory sensitivities: Overreacting or
underreacting to sensory stimuli such as lights, sounds, textures, or tastes.
Recognizing these early signs and seeking evaluation
by a healthcare professional can lead to timely diagnosis and access to
interventions and support services, which can significantly improve outcomes
for individuals with ASD.
