10 Symptoms of Autism

3. Lack of Language Skills

Every parent enjoys hearing their baby babbling away and cannot wait to hear them speak their first words. Children demonstrating signs of autism may start off babbling but then suddenly become silent before they turn six months old. It may take them much longer to acquire basic language skills. Sometimes they might repeat the same word time after time and might find it hard to form sentences. Eventually, they tend to develop communications abilities to greater or lesser extents; although, some individuals may infusing little expression into their communications.
