Learn the Signs

The signs of autism are diverse and can manifest uniquely in each individual. While it's important to remember that autism is a spectrum, here are some common behaviors and traits that may indicate its presence:

• Challenges in Social Interactions: Difficulty maintaining eye contact, interpreting nonverbal cues, and forming meaningful relationships.

• Communication Differences: Delayed speech development, repetitive language patterns, or a preference for nonverbal communication.

• Sensory Sensitivities: Reactions to certain textures, lights, sounds, or other sensory stimuli.

• Repetitive Behaviors: Engaging in repetitive movements, interests, or routines as a form of self-expression.

Recognizing these signs allows us to embrace neurodiversity, offer timely support, and cultivate a more inclusive society where every individual's strengths are valued.  If you have any concerns for your child please reach out to your doctor as early intervention is  key to improving outcomes for children with autism!
