The most important sign is that children do not look the other person in the eye and do not respond to their own name. It may seem that they cannot hear or are very absorbed in some activity.
We work on the basis of regularly updated scientific sources and international reports from the global medical community.
Does your child not respond to their name and avoid eye contact? Does their behaviour seem unusual to you and different from that of other children their age? Early signs of autism can be difficult to identify on your own, so it is important to see specialists who have experience working with such children.
At CSM Clinic in Kyiv, autism spectrum disorders can be identified using modern diagnostics, and you can also receive follow-up corrective support for the child's development and for improving social skills.
A separate area is autism treatment in children using modern approaches, including restorative medicine methods and stem cell treatment as part of comprehensive therapy under the supervision of specialists.
Early signs of ASD (autism spectrum disorder) can include not responding to one's name, avoiding eye contact, delayed speech and differences in social interaction. Such signs need a professional assessment, which is carried out by the experienced doctors and special education teachers of CSM Clinic.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects the perception of social cues and communication. In most cases it has a genetic basis and can appear in different forms and degrees of severity, which is why an individual approach to each child is important.
The nature of the early signs of autism depends on the child's age. Some parents notice differences in behaviour even at an early age: the baby does not make eye contact, is withdrawn from communication or does not understand the phrases said to them, is often fussy, does not want or try to play with other children, and says words out of context. These signs alert parents, and when they appear it is better to see specialists straight away, because early detection and support may improve the chances of successful adaptation in society.
Which early signs of autism in children should concern parents? What deserves closer attention? Let us look at the signs of autism in children by age.
Children do not always show all the signs of ASD; usually 3-4 symptoms are observed. However, all of the signs listed should raise concern and be a reason to see specialists.
Have you noticed similar signs in your child? Book a consultation with a child psychiatrist or a child neurologist at CSM Clinic in Kyiv. Early diagnosis helps to start support in good time.
It can be hard to recognise signs of autism in young children who do not yet speak. To do so, you need to watch closely the child's behaviour and reactions to what is going on around them.
At 1-2 years, children become more communicative. They are happy when their parents arrive, begin to imitate sounds and say words, and try to copy actions and facial expressions.
The following may be regarded as symptoms of autism at 2 years:
One of the warning signs of autism in children of this age is the absence of pointing. The child may try to use an adult's hand to carry out an action.
Some children develop in line with their age, but after a stressful situation or a serious illness their speech and social interaction skills deteriorate.
At this age, children want to do everything on their own. In play, the child not only does things with toys but also tries to build a storyline with roles.
The following may be signs of ASD at 3 years:
In autism, children do not try to make contact first, cannot put their wishes into words or ask for things, and attachment to adults is needed only to meet everyday needs.
Children begin to follow rules and norms of behaviour in a particular situation and in society, and develop moral and ethical attitudes.
In ASD, the following signs may appear:
Diagnostic assessments are carried out by specialists who have worked for many years with children with ASD. If necessary, several questionnaire-based tests are used to diagnose the child more accurately. The examination is supplemented by a physical examination, laboratory tests and instrumental diagnostic methods (ultrasound, EEG, MRI).
Treatment is provided at CSM Clinic in Kyiv, where patients receive a comprehensive approach, modern equipment and the support of experienced doctors at every stage of therapy.
