What Are The Signs of Autism?

 The age and severity of early signs of autism diagnosis vary widely. In their first months, several infants give clues. Behaviors are evident in others as late as age 2 or 3.  Not all autistic children exhibit all of the signs. Even kids who don't have a couple of display autism.
