1. Delayed language development: Most children with autism have significantly delayed language development, which is often the first problem parents find. 2. Social interaction disorder: This is the core problem of children with autism. Children with mild autism can carry out basic social activities, but it is difficult to communicate in depth, and they do not fit in with their peers; children with severe autism do not pay attention to the surrounding environment at all and play alone. 3. Stereotyped behaviors: such as repeatedly spinning in circles, running back and forth, playing/watching hands, shaking the body; or compulsive/ritualized behaviors. 4. Narrow interests: For example, like to bite, knock objects, play switches repeatedly, watch TV commercials, weather forecasts, or watch fixed cartoons. If the child has the above performance, parents should take them to see a doctor as soon as possible. (via Shenzhen Children’s Hospital)
