4- They Don’t Point Or Gesture ( To show interest such as waving hello).
Young Children tend to point at things or make other gestures to show interest and even waving hello and goodbye. A kid with autism spectrum dysfunction won’t look at things they notice, or won’t show any interest in things that are pointed around them.
Not each child will reveal the same symptoms, so it’s best to get consulted by a professional if you imagine your child may have autism spectrum disorder.
Some parents might end up mistaking this for a lazy child who just does not feel like doing these things, and while that could very well be true.
It is also a sign that the child might be autistic, something that you would want to find out sooner rather than later to get your child the appropriate help that they need as quickly as possible so that they do not fall behind. If you ever have any concerns about whether or not your child is up to par with other kids, then a consult with the doctor couldn’t hurt one bit.
The earlier autism can be identified, the better, as younger brains are more adaptable, and intense therapy early on can make an impact on progress.
