- Social activities such as talking, sharing, and playing do not interest him/her.
- S/he likes to be alone.
- S/he avoids physical contact.

- If s/he's upset, s/he does not want to be comforted.
- S/he doesn't comprehend emotions, including his/her own.
- S/he might not extend his/her arms to be guided.
- Delayed language and speech skills.
- Monotonous speaking voice.
- Repeats the same phrases several times.
- Difficulty with pronouns.
- Usually never uses gestures like waving and rarely responding to them.
- Problem with staying on any subject while speaking and replying to questions.

These are only a few signs that you may see in your child, but if you notice them consistently, your child might be autistic.
