Although children are usually not diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder until they are 2 or 3 years old, these children often show problems with social communication and behavior as infants and toddlers. What deficits might a 18-month-old child show that are associated with a later diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder?
What will be an ideal response?
They would have already shown delays in social skills, communication, and behavior. At 9 months, children later diagnosed with ASD are less likely to follow another’s gaze, show interest in social games (such as peekaboo) and point to objects than others are. They may also have a delay or deficit in language and an absence of creative, pretend play. Repetitive behaviors may onset at this time as well.
