  2. Three areas to see signs of Autism- Language and communication, social interaction, repetitive and restrictive behaviours
  3. Early signs matter – Recognising developmental differences early can lead to timely intervention
  4. Autism signs awareness – The infographic helps identify early signs of Autism in children between five to 11 years

Every child develops differently and at a different pace. However, the development of some children may present signs indicative of developmental delay of varying nature. In most cases, early recognition of these developmental signs can pave the way to early intervention. Intervening early can go a long way in improving learning and behavioural differences this child may face later in life. Following infographic serves to help you spot early signs of Autism in children. A parent must be perceptive of these signs, so a child between the ages of five and 11 who is at  risk for Autism may get help as early as possible.

If you have spotted early signs of Autism you can take a few online tests too. However, never self-diagnose Autism and go to the doctor with your observations and test results. Refer to our Autism factsheet for a quick snapshot of the condition and its therapy supporting strategies.
