In this video, I’ll walk you through 10 subtle signs you can watch for at home – from how your child uses eye contact during play to whether they share their excitement with you.
I’ll show you simple tests like the “stop and watch” game with a ball or car, and explain what to look for in their pointing, gestures, language development, and pretend play.
Remember – spotting one or two (or even more) of these doesn’t mean autism. This video is not a tool to be used for at-home diagnosis. But these signs can be indicators that you should see your child’s doctor or health professional and have a conversation with them. Early intervention can make a huge difference in a child’s life, so picking these things up early can be highly beneficial.
As always, I hope this helps!

My son is 13 months he never responses to his name and gestures
I'm gonna say only not all the kids till 2 year speak, especially boys.
And so what? Why does it have to be an issue? They’re souls like the rest of us. Live and let live.
Thanks for creating such a wonderful video, Your all video are amazing and full of guidelines.
My daughter is 25 on the spectrum with speech. I really want to help her but she seems just want to stay home and be with her girlfriend. I need help and guidance.
Ive heard having autism isnt a problem. Why is she talking about concern?
This video is very informative! I have Autism, and had these signs when I was a kid. I was barely engaging with adults or other kids, even though I understood language (I loved reading and writing) and gestures. To put it bluntly, I simply was not interested in other humans — I found them annoying. One day, when I was around seven years old, my mom had one of her friends over, whom I found very interesting, and I started talking to him incessantly. Everyone was shocked! These days, I love people; I find it rewarding to connect with people. Everyone's different; a lot of autistic people can be late bloomers in that respect.
This is very helpful. Being a first time father to a boy born at 32 weeks I have been so stressed but this video has put my mind at ease. Thank you so much.
My daughter pointed at things and looked at me but was diagnosed autistic last year so not pointing is not always autism
Caught mine early at 16 years.
My son is does all the normal things that you listed but you she still wants us to see a psychiatrist he not normally around kids at all is that the reason he don’t want to play with kids mostly he plays with his sister all the time when she’s here
My grandson has mild autisim . I believe hes also got mild tourettes . Or signs of it . We are watching closley . Puberty seems to be a time of the emerging signs . He's almost 8 and doing well . He exhibits some , but not all of the common markers .
KEEP THEM AWAY FROM SCREENS!
Why do you keep looking up?
If you have time,,,,spaint with him,,,,,if,,you don't enough time to spaint with child,,,,,,send him to playschool,,,,to park,,,,,,,,because social communication is the key of this disease,,,,,,it's my experience,,,,,,,
I knew my baby was autistic at around six months. I observed for a bit and at 9 months he was diagnosed with asd. He’s 2 now and gets regional center services and is developing beautifully.. I’m so proud of my beautiful boy ❤
What age should i look for these signs ,my babies are 3 months old ,n I think stressing too much about it , pls let me know
As much as I'm learning and like about these videos, I'd like to see proof of your psychology degree or degrees
"should be"??? That wording implies that there's something wrong with an autistic child. There is nothing wrong with having autism.
Yes, it should be noticed, diagnosed, and treated. Not to be cured or "normalized." We thrive when we have the right support and the right environment. When Autism is noticed in a child, the parents can make sure the needed support is provided.
My son was just like normal baby untill 13 months now hes showing these signs can someone help me are these normal on all childre.
1. Spins cars wheels and round object for short period of time
2. Not speaking yet like mumy or dady
3. Not pointing finger for somethink he wants
4. He tip toes alot not all the time
5. Eye contact its not there to smile back at you or things like that
6. He has not respoded to his name yet nor has before as baby
Do you think are normal hes still young at developing or should i tale it further i mean all these signs lead me into rabit hole
@EmmaHubbard My youngest boy is just over two years old. Only says the word "Dadda" but also not to call out for his Dad. Difficulty with his walking also. He's been seen by physios and apparently is too flexible in his feet and knees. He can walk on his own for a short while, but he also tends to walk on his tippy toes, and sometimes he wants to sit on the floor and wants to slam his head and back down backwards hard on the floor. Not too much interest in toys or books either. He never cooed as a baby. Help?!
I wouldn't use eye contact to communicate with you too. No communication with mentally ill perimenopausal women.
Excellent video! Content, editing, presentation, expertise, all there. Congratulations!
A father to an autistic boy (he is awesome btw) my advice to parents is that dont start with tv, pad or mobile phones before 3-4 yo. Just sit with them, watch them playing, make comments about what they do. Dont ask questions, dont order them. Just sit with them and play, most importantly enjoy your time with them.
Daddy cool vs Christopher Southmong 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🤡🤡
If we see more than five of these behaviours, should we have them put down?
Me, an autistic adult with an autistic child, who didn't know their child was autistic because everything they do is normal to me: 👀 "oh" 😅
Does this apply to 14 months old ?
My God, labeling your child is tantamount to abuse. How dare you saddle them with a lifelong stigma over behavior that is so common. The autism epidemic is among parents, not children. I am 65 and never ‘diagnosed’, but I made it through stronger than most ‘typicals’.
Great video!
I honestly hate these videos. Autism wasnt a thing in the past and its just a booming oh woo is me thing. Yes there are real autistic people but kids are always misdiagnosed because you cant really diagnose it until at 6 or 7. Like for instance all kids flap there hands for a period of time on and off its a motor skill there learning. Doesn't mean there autistic. I think its a word they overly throw around and I dont support it at all.
Can someone tell me what you think is the cause of autism?
Thanks this vid helped me alot ❤.
Put them infront of a washing machine. If they spend too much t8me looking at th3 spin you know they might need to be checked
Why is it a concern that my baby has signs of autism? Its not like they did anything wrong or are damaged
Any doctors can't change how your toddlers development cycle is but they might figure out what their development is…
Nothing to take from this video.
Sooo what if they are ten years old Because I am 10…
We're not necessarily "missing that crucial desire to share". We sometimes just like to enjoy on our own, or we share the moment in a different way. 😊
Also, i just wanted to add that we can show a "somewhat normal/typical" development (like copying parents and enjoy pretend playing for exemple) and still be autistic.
If your kid has never been vaccinated and didn't get the k-shot at birth, their risk of autism is ZERO.
I had panicked, soany years ago, when my youngest son was non-verbal. He was two years old, and said about four words to me throughout the day. I took him to a therapist. The therapist said to me, "Momma, he can talk. Do you ask him if he is hungry, or thirsty? When he is feeling thos3 things, let him ask for them". She said he didn't feel like h3 had to ask for anything, except shake his head yes/no b3cause I was doing all the work. Well, he's 29 now, and he talks a lot. 😂
An excellent explanation
