Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others. While the symptoms of ASD can vary from person to person, there are some common early signs that parents can look for. These signs can include:
– Lack of eye contact
– Lack of response to their name
– Difficulty following another person’s gaze or pointed finger to an object
– Poor skills in pretend play and imitation
– Problems with nonverbal communication
It’s important to note that these are just some of the common early signs of ASD. If you are concerned that your child may have ASD, it’s important to talk to your child’s doctor for an evaluation.
