Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and affects a person's ability to communicate and interact with others. Autism is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is a 'spectrum disorder' that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees.

Know the Signs: Early Identification Can Change Lives
Autism is treatable. Children do not 'outgrow' autism, but studies show that early diagnosis and intervention lead to significantly improved outcomes.


Here are some signs to look for in the children in your life:
1. Lack of, or delay in, spoken language
2. Repetitive use of language and/or motor mannerisms (e.g. hand-flapping, twirling objects)
3. Little or no eye contact
4. Lack of interest in peer relationships
5. Lack of spontaneous or make-believe play
