April month is celebrated as Autism Awareness Month

Why the need ? This is due to rising no. Of children with Autistic spectrum disorder , may due to environmental changes , more concern of parents apart from other causes and recently it is being said that it is like an epidemic .
This is rather a disease it is different way of understanding and learning , if earlier it is diagnosed better the child develops and learns hence the importance of early recognition by the parents and caregivers.
Some clues are
Decrease social interaction
Speech delay
May be a very silent child or may be hyperactivity
Repetition of sentences or action
Liking towards one thing more
Sometimes seems don’t listen sometimes seems listen
