Autism Soccer: Early Signs of Autism In Children

One of the main characteristics of ASD children is their repetitive behavior towards daily activities.

Lately, besides the special posts due to the awareness month made in this blog, there has also been some entries discussing parenting and first steps in the process of raising special needs children. But it came as a surprise that the topic of identifying the early signs of autism in children wasn’t discussed at all.

From the moment the babies are born, their growth starts fast. It almost seems like it was impossible that the babies were the size of a thumb in the beginning. A year passes and it almost seems like the babies should start showing the first signs of cognitive improvement but strangely, it’s not happening. This might be a moment to start considering if your children might have ASD, here are some signs you might want to consider checking:

Awareness of their environment: This is one of the characteristics autistic children might show, the lack of awareness or the feeling in their eyes that makes it look like your children are not there.

Non-responsive: Usually, children are very communicative, even if they haven’t said their first words they try to express by imitating and making noises. If you notice your children used to do this and suddenly stops, you might have a sign here. However, this is not a definitive sign, check with a specialist to clear the doubts.

Down-like attitude: Children are very energetic in general, they run around and play with their toys and the environment. The absence of this in children can be worrying for any parent, as they just stay in a place looking rather sad and doing nothing.

There are some cases where one of those signs is just a part of your children growth and as such, shouldn’t be considered a sign of autism. Still, try to keep an eye on your children at all times and check for any changes in their behavior, you’re the one who knows them the most, you will know that something is going on. If it turns out to be positive, start the intervention at once, do not leave things as they are and search for ways to help your children out.
