10 Early Warning Signs of Autism

Dr. Mary Barbera discusses the 10 early signs your child may have autism.

It may seem like I am focusing on very young children in this and many other episodes. I do have a lot of important episodes for adults and older children with autism, however, I am really focusing on breaking denial and giving understanding to parents who may see these signs in their small children. In today’s episode, I reference 10 possible warning signs of autism from chapter two of Turn Autism Around.

You'll Learn:
-How to tell if a young child has autism?
-Is pointing a sign of autism ?
-Is delayed speech a sign of autism?
-Are motor delays and toe walking signs of autism?
-Are tantrums related to autism?
-Do sensory issues mean autism?
-If your child has early signs, do they have autism?
-What signs are important for an autism diagnosis?
-Can delayed skills be taught?

Dr. Mary Barbera. I fell into the autism world as an autism mom in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then, she became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author of The Verbal Behavior Approach. Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents.

The book turning autism around is working while waiting for my child’s assessment. Since last month he has 5 new words and is engaging with me more and I haven’t even finished the book yet, or began table time. I’m hopeful now. Thank you for the help and guidance from an overwhelmed parent!

This is my son as well he doesn’t respond to his name but if he hears his favourite show he runs towards it .

Hello, may I know where can I purchase the book? Im from Phillipines. I hope you can notice my comment. My son is 4.3 y/o. I started to worry when he is 2 y/o and can't talk. Until we tried ABA for 3 months but pandemic came and it is very hard for me to send him to the therapy center. I kept on researching what to do until I saw your videos. Now he knows to count from 1-100 (but not very clear word) he knows shapes and memorized alphabet and colors as well. It us just very hard to instruct him. What are the things I should to for him to continue improve?Thank you so much.

Hi. My son is 11 months old and had febrile seizure before 10 days. Untill then he responded very well to his name but now he's not responding to his name unless I call 5 or 10 times. But good eye contact. Kindly reply please 🙏🏻

I had trouble responding to my name for awhile but not as bad now. I still have trouble responding sometimes but I respond to really random thing like Tortellini (that happened yesterday) or my cat’s name.

Why have you called them “warning signs?”
