@babyandpregfactsdaily: 5 AUTISM SIGNS YOU SHOULD NEVER IGNORE IN A CHILD 👇 1. Doesn’t respond to their name — especially consistently by around 12 months, even when hearing seems normal. 2. Avoids or rarely makes eye contact — limited eye contact or difficulty sharing attention with others can be an early sign. 3. Delayed speech or unusual communication — little/no babbling or gestures by 12 months, no meaningful words by 16 months, or loss of previously acquired language. 4. Repetitive movements or behaviours — such as hand-flapping, rocking, spinning objects, or repeatedly lining up toys. 5. Doesn’t engage in typical social play — may rarely point to show you something, imitate others, share interests, or play interactively. ⚠️ Important: These signs do not automatically mean a child has autism. Children develop at different rates, and other conditions can cause similar behaviours. If you notice several signs or your child loses a skill they previously had, speak with a paediatrician or child-development specialist for proper assessment. Early identification can help a child access support as early as possible. ❤️
