Recognizing the early signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder can make a meaningful difference in a child’s development. Early identification allows families to better understand their child’s needs and access appropriate supports sooner.
Some common signs may include delays in speech or language, differences in social interaction, repetitive behaviors, or sensory sensitivities. However, it is important to note that autism does not look the same in every child. The signs listed in this graphic are not limited to only these characteristics. Autism presents differently across children, and some signs can be subtle.
If you have concerns about your child’s development — even if you’re unsure — trust your instincts. A comprehensive evaluation can provide clarity, direction, and peace of mind.
