Mild Symptoms of Autism- A Parent's Guide
If a child is displaying mild symptoms of Autism
, the symptoms will be apparent before the child is three years old. The symptoms will show up in three different ways: First, the child will have difficulty communicating and relating to other people. Second, the child will have difficulty learning to speak and keeping conversations. Third, the child will exhibit a lot of introverted or repetitive behaviors.
If a parent notices any mild signs of autism, they should take their child to a doctor as soon as they can for evaluation. The sooner Autism is diagnosed and treated, the better life will be for the affected child and his or her family.
First, let's discuss the social mild symptoms of Autism. An Autistic child will make poor eye contact with other people. Even if they do make eye contact, they will not maintain it for very long.
If spoken to directly, a child demonstrating mild symptoms of Autism generally will not reply, even if their name is called. They may seem like they are ignoring the person talking to them, or they may seem like they don't even know that person is present.
Children demonstrating mild signs of Autism often seem like they are in their own world. They often do not comprehend body language. Children demonstrating mild symptoms of Autism have trouble comprehending different emotions. They have no sense of other peoples' feelings.
Children demonstrating mild signs of Autism will be very introverted. They do not like to be touched, hugged or held. This is because they are very sensitive to people or things touching them.
Next, lets talk about the mild symptoms of Autism that deal with speaking and language. Children who are experiencing mild symptoms of Autism are significantly behind other children their age when it comes to learning to speak. If children dont babble by their first birthday or say phrases made up of two or three words by the time they are 24 months old, they may be demonstrating mild symptoms of Autism. Another common symptom of Autism happens when children forget words or phrases they could say previously.
Another symptom appears in the tone of voice of the child. Children experiencing mild symptoms of Autism will often times talk like a robot, saying everything in the same tone of voice. Other times, they may sound like they are singing everything they say instead of saying it.
Children who demonstrate signs of mild autism have a lot of trouble beginning a conversation. Even if they are able to begin one, they will be unable to sustain it.
Another mild symptom of Autism is to reiterate certain words over and over again. These words may be completely insignificant. The child often doesn't even know what these words or phrases mean or understand how to use them in a sentence.
Lastly, let's discuss the symptoms
and signs of Autism that deal with withdrawn or repetitive behaviors. One of the most frequent symptoms is called "flapping." This is when a child flaps his or her hand or an object back and forth very quickly in front of his or her face.
Autistic children may become obsessed with ordinary objects, especially if they spin, move quickly, or have shiny colors.
Children with autistic tendencies also tend to rock back and forth a lot, especially when they get anxious or when they are experiencing emotions that they dont comprehend. They set up specific routines that they do not waver from. When the routines get changed for any reason, the child gets very agitated.
Children who exhibit
symptoms andsigns of Autism may be very irritated by bright lights, certain sounds, like the vacuum cleaner, and things that touch their skin. They have a very high tolerance for pain.
If a parent suspects their child could possibly be showing the signs of mild Autism, they should schedule an appointment with the doctor immediately.
There is help available in the form of training and treatment. The earlier Autism is detected and diagnosed, the better the outcome will be. The parents should begin educating themselves immediately on how to best teach their child and how to accomodate his or her needs.
