Recognising Potential Signs of Autism in Children and Adolescents
Identifying early signs of autism in children and adolescents is crucial for timely intervention and support. While every child’s experience with autism is unique, there are some common indicators to look out for.
In younger children, this may include delayed speech and language development, difficulty with eye contact, repetitive behaviours, and challenges in social interactions. They may also display a strong preference for routines and have specific interests or attachments to certain objects.
As children grow into adolescence, some signs of autism may become more evident or change in nature. Adolescents on the autism spectrum might struggle with understanding social cues, exhibit difficulty in making and maintaining friendships, and experience heightened sensitivity to sensory stimuli such as light, sound, or touch.
It’s essential to remember that these signs can vary significantly from one individual to another, and a comprehensive autism assessment by a professional is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.
