What are the symptoms of autism in young children under the age of 5?
really the symptoms vary but the most common are 1 loss of communication 2 loss of previously learned skills (i.e. toilet training) 3 obsession 4 unusual behaviours for example the requirement to go shopping and go up and down aisles in a certain order (usually resulting in a major screaming fit) some autistic people are savants that means though they have a disability they can do one or maybe two remarkable things for instance, play the piano from memory and give any date for instance the day someone was born i.e. september 17th 1982 – friday (that’s the day I was born) I would go and get this checked out as soon as possible and I would not take no for an answer one final point Autism is more common in boys than in girls.
