Introduction
Early detection of autism can lead to earlier intervention, which often results in better outcomes. Knowing the signs can help parents seek support sooner.

Common Early Signs

• Limited eye contact

• Delayed speech or lack of gestures

• Repetitive behaviors (hand-flapping, rocking)

• Strong reactions to sensory input (sounds, textures, lights)

When to Seek Evaluation
If you notice multiple signs or have concerns about your child’s development, talk to your pediatrician or a developmental specialist.

Why Early Intervention Matters
The earlier a child starts receiving support, the greater their chances of developing important skills and reducing challenges.

Conclusion
Trust your instincts—if something feels off, it’s worth exploring. Awareness is the first step toward getting the help your child may need.
