Autism Spectrum Disorder in Children

Who hasn't ever preferred to play alone rather than share their dolls or toys with somebody else? Although this is a human response, it's fair to say that this introverted action can let on more than that, especially when it's generalized and affects the child's social and communication relationships. In that case, it can give way, broadly speaking, to an autistic spectrum. However, you can never forget that an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis needs to be made by an expert. Although each child with autism is different, some of the most common signs or symptoms could alert you.

• Have certain repetitive behaviors or demeanors that are considered unusual.
• Have a very intense interest in certain things about which they want to learn everything. For example, the numbers or the details of an object, trains, history, wildlife, etc.
• Getting annoyed by changes (even if they are slight) in routines or getting uncomfortable having to be in new spaces that they do not know.
• They get uncomfortable in overly stimulating environments. In some cases, they may have sensory sensitivity to light and noise.
• Make little or erratic eye contact.
• Respond in an unusual way to the emotions of others. It can be difficult for them to understand another person's point of view. This makes it difficult for them to interpret or predict the actions of others.
• Have difficulty following conversations. However, they can talk for a long time about the topics they are passionate about (without realizing that the other person is not listening to them or doesn't care about the topic.
