Autism Symptoms Checklist - What to Look for when Checking for Autism

Copyright © 2008 Gust Lenglet


Autism is a mental disorder that has been found in just a few isolated cases quite a while ago. Nowadays, autism has gained somewhat "popularity" (in a manner of speaking) especially since more and more individuals seem to suffer from it. As a parent, it is almost imperative to see whether your child is suffering from autism because the sooner you spot and treat it, the better your child will be. The first thing you have to know is that this disorder begins either at birth (when it is rather hard to spot it) or within the next one or two years. You should not be fooled by the fact that your child seems perfectly healthy and normal, because the disease acts only at a neurological level. If your child has a tendency towards puzzling and weird behaviors then you might consider this fact, and check your idea with a qualified physician.

The main problem about autism is that you cannot simply look at a symptoms list and say whether your child is or is not suffering from that disorder. Since it is a neurological disease, some or even all of the main symptoms may not check out at all, and your child can still be suffering from autism. However, you should check several symptoms before proceeding with any other tests. These main symptoms are:

  • Eye-to-eye contact - Usually children suffering from autism avoid any type of eye-to-eye contact, however they have the tendency of staring at one object for a long time. A fixed look in one direction may be a tip.

  • Interest in things - Normal children tend to bring objects to their parents' attention to find out more about them. Pointing at them is another thing they usually do. Children suffering from autism have almost no interest at all in objects and they do not point towards objects.

  • Deafness - Children suffering from autism may give everybody around them the feeling that they are deaf because they tend to ignore any verbal or visual advices. For example, they do not even answer when their name is called.

  • Communication - Aside from eye to eye contact, children suffering from autism develop almost no social skills and they do not interact with children of their own age. In some cases, they do not even interact with their own parents.

  • Lack of smile - If the child seem like he is always unhappy or simply never smiles you might get a hint on what's wrong with them. Autistic children do not react to stimuli such as smiling or laughing.
