Symptoms of autism in children
Autism normally appears in infancy but it is hard to diagnose before 24 months of age. Most of the pediatricians are of the view that parents remain in the best positions to catch the earliest signs of autism as parents know their child better than anyone else and can observe their behavior 24 hours a day. Some of the early signs of autism are

3. They never smile back when you smile at them
4. They cannot follow visual objects
5. They cannot make gestures or communication or wave good bye
