A child with autism struggles with social skills; they may not respond when their name is called, may not make much direct eye contact, or may appear not to hear the person speaking to them. They also experience language difficulties, such as delayed speech or a loss of the ability to say words and sentences they previously knew , or may repeat words and phrases they do not know how to use. Behaviourally, they may be constantly on the move or repeat certain movements, amongst other things. All these symptoms are signs that your child may have autism… so seek treatment and early intervention without delay.
