Lack of interest in social interaction is sometimes present even before spech develops,most children look physically normal.
BEHAVIOUR IN BABIES
Feeding problems are fairly common and some babys do not suck well.the majority do not cry to be feed they are placid ,undemanding and could lie in the prams all day.while infants they are named " angel babys" but at times parents worry because they can become very unactive and unsocialble.
they dislike nappy changing dressing and washing .and they may not lift their arms to be puicked up.
they are facinated by lights shines,and spins.they have an intence interest in televison and music.
babys like to be tickled cudled and bounced but not when looking at someone face.they dont join in by copying parents in games such as peek a boo .
babys with autism still cut their teeth,walk,smile and put on weight normally.
they may not bother to sit up because the world has little interest.they are reluctant to walk without support but there have been some cases where children with autism have been known to crawl or shuffle one minute and suddenly they stood up and walked without any practice.
babys with autism dont really lean out of prams to look in curiosity at dogs and other children nor do they try to get mothers attention to something that caught their eye.if any of this behaviour is absent at18 mths it is likelly the child has autism.
there are many groups of autism:
- the allof group
- the passive group
- the active group
- the over formal group
