What are the more subtle symptoms of autism in a small child?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Interaction: A very young child will just not be as interactive and vocal as would be expected, may not make as much eye contact, and may be more fascinated by or attached to an object than would be usual, though not to the extent seen in children who are more affected.
