What are the symtoms of an autautistic child?

See below.: Autistic children have problems w/ social interactions (do not emotionally connect or form relationships w/ others), may have communication deficits such as delayed speech, and often engage in repetitive behavior (hand flapping, repeatedly banging toys). Symptoms present before age 3. 70% of children with autism also suffer from mental retardation (iq below 70).

See below: Three main things. 1-inadequate social skill per age 2-delayed speech for age 3-repetative habbits or fixations there are forms to fill out such as an mchat from your physician.

Symptoms vary with: age. Earliest signs are deficits in reciprocal social interactions & social communication. Stereotypical, repetitive, non-functional movements are displayed early in some toddlers, but may be hard to spot. Narrow, restricted areas of interest are often evident by age 3.
