Common Signs and Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects each child differently, but some common signs and symptoms may include:

Delayed or absent speech and language skills
Difficulty with social interaction and communication, such as making eye contact, responding to their name, or engaging in play with others
Repetitive behaviors or routines, such as lining up toys or repeating the same phrases or motions
Sensory sensitivities, such as being bothered by certain textures, sounds, or lights
Difficulty with transitions or changes in routine
Unusual interests or preoccupations
Delayed or atypical motor development, such as delayed crawling or walking, or unusual body movements

It is important to note that these signs and symptoms may be present to varying degrees and may not be apparent in every child with ASD. Some children may have difficulty with social interaction and communication but have typical language skills, while others may have delayed language skills but good social skills.
