Early Intervention Matters: Early diagnosis and intervention — ideally before age 5 — significantly improves communication, social, and adaptive outcomes for children with autism. If you notice signs, seek an evaluation promptly rather than adopting a 'wait and see' approach.
Signs & Symptoms of
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Recognising these signs early can make a significant difference. If your child shows several of these, seek a professional evaluation promptly.
Limited eye contact
Reduced or inconsistent eye contact with caregivers and others, even during meaningful interactions.
Delayed or absent speech
Not babbling by 12 months, no single words by 16 months, or loss of previously acquired language skills.
Limited social interest
Reduced interest in other children, difficulty sharing enjoyment, or preferring to play alone.
Repetitive behaviours
Hand flapping, rocking, spinning objects, or insistence on specific routines. Distress when routines change.
Unusual sensory responses
Over- or under-sensitivity to sounds, textures, lights, or smells that may cause distress or fascination.
Difficulty with pretend play
Limited or absent imaginative or pretend play compared to same-age peers.
