Compare the Signs
Here you will see a list of the early warning signs of an autism spectrum disorder. The early warning signs, or symptoms, are organized into three categories:
- Social
- Communication
- Restrictive and Repetitive Behaviors (RRBI)
Clicking on one of the categories will show or hide the list of associated behaviors. Clicking on any behavior will bring up all available videos that specifically show a comparison between a typically developing child and a child who is on the autism spectrum. "Grayed out" (non-clickable) items do not currently have comparative videos available. If you hover over any of the behavior keywords for a few seconds you will see a brief definition to help guide you.
QUICK TIP: We recommend you see the learning course Detecting Autism at an Early Age in order to learn more about the 3 domains of autism prior to using this feature.
