In a recent article by Walaa Ali, he interviews Professor of psychiatry at the Faculty of Medicine, in Ain Shams University, who talks about the signs of autism every parent must know about.
In this sense, Sheikh explicated the major signs to be aware from the age of 1 to 2 years. This is what he explained:
From age 6 to 12 months
After completing 6 months, the child must be able to follow the movements of the mother and look at her. In the event that she speaks and attempts to play with the child, he must be attentive and interactive.
Also, the child’s lack of response when hearing his name is one of the big signs of autism disorders. When the child is 12 months old, he should be able to respond and know that the voice and speech are directed to him and thus interact with the sound by looking and issuing sound.
From age 1 to 2.5 years
At this age the child begins to talk and interact with others fairly well. If a parent discovers that their child is unable to speak, it means that the child is already suffering from autism disorders and should visit a specialist.
Other signs of sub-show on the child are hyperactivity and circulating around himself.
She added that children with autism are able to live normally, saying “there are also scientists and celebrities who were autistic but managed to overcome the disease thanks to the constant support of their families.”ç
