Today’s Health = Every year, April 2nd is ‘World Autism Awareness Day’. It was designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007 to raise social awareness of autism and help ensure early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. On the occasion of Autism Awareness Day, we have summarized the early symptoms of autism that are very helpful in early detection of autism.
Autism can be recognized as early as 18 months of age. The most typical symptom is communication difficulties. They often avoid eye contact and may have difficulty recognizing and using facial expressions and general body language.
It is also common to see repeated actions such as shaking hands and arms or snapping fingers in front of eyes. Repetitive behaviors include constantly turning a light switch on and off, or spinning a coin tirelessly. They may injure themselves by banging their head against a wall or by biting and scratching their skin.
The American Autism Institute (ARI) recommends that you consult a doctor immediately if you see any of these behaviors in your child. If you are diagnosed with autism, you need special education, speech therapy, behavioral therapy, and medication to promote social and linguistic development and control hyperactivity, stereotyped behavior, self-injurious behavior, and aggression.
