How come some people with autism do not show signs of autism when they are babies?
No idea. I wasn't diagnosed with autism until I was 9. I'm 12, now. Because it's not something you can tell until they are growing up and beginning to communicate with people. Babies don't talk or show many emotions. There's 2 types of Autism - one where the child is born autistic and the other is late onset autism. Early onset (infantile) autism is usually not diagnosed until age 2 or 3, but a few symptoms can be observed at age 1. Late onset autism usually does not show symptoms until after age 3. (Distinguishing between these two types of autism is more an issue of when the child was diagnosed, rather than when autism occurred.) The diagnostic criteria includes impaired social functioning and delayed language development, which are easier to detect between ages 1 1/2 and 3 than as a baby. Some researchers are investigating ways to diagnose autism at age 1 or earlier. One of these methods involves analyzing the child's eye contact. I am a mother of a 4 year old who is diagnosed with mild autism. Hannah was a normal and happy baby. She hit every major milestone except speech. When she was about 18 months old I noticed that she only spoke 5 "true words" and the rest was babble. I took her to an ears, nose and throat doctor to get her hearing checked since she did have reoccurring ear infections for the 1st year of her life. The doctor did a hearing test and to my surprise it came back normal. The ENT doctor referred us to a speech language pathologist who did an assessment on her. The SLP said that her mental level was that of a 10 month old and her speech was that of a 9 month old. She diagnosed Hannah as having Symbolic Dysfunction Disorder. Hannah continued Speech therapy but I wanted to know why Hannah had this so I took her to see a pediatric neurologist who did a complete workup including an EEG and he diagnosed her with being Mildly Autistic. Today Hannah attends Special-Education Pre-School at the recommendation of her neurologist and also attends speech and occupational therapy. Actually, some babies avoid eye contacts, that is an early sign of autism. Autism cannot be diagnosed before two years old when the symptoms are not clear. A child might have a condition in addition to autism, such as ADHD. The ADHD symptoms could be so significant that the autism symptoms seem minor or are ones that can be explained by having ADHD. In this case, the person might not have seemed to have symptoms of autism as a baby, although he or she did. A child might have mild symptoms of autism. This child might be described as a difficult or sensitive baby, but it might not seem that the child has the symptoms conventionally associated with autism. Again, it might seem as if the child did not have symptoms as a baby. A child with autism might not be in situations that trigger the symptoms of autism until he or she enters school - or is exposed to other unfamiliar people and places. The symptoms of autism might never happen at home with family. In this case, the child might not have shown any distinguishing symptoms of autism as a baby. In one case that was described to me, the child was the parents' first child, so the parents did not realize the behaviors exhibited by the child were atypical, so they never mentioned them to the pediatrician. The pediatrician did not ask questions specific enough to realize there might be a problem. The child seemed slow to develop in some ways, but faster in some, and the parents thought it was all within the range of expected development, so it was not until the child was older that they realized something was wrong. === ===
Does an 8-month-old child have autism if he does not babble?
This characteristic is not enough to diagnose autism. Children with autism might babble at 8 months. Children with hearing problems might not babble at 8 months. The child might have autism if he or she has additional signs of autism and other possibilities are eliminated.

Understanding the Symptoms of Autism in Children?
Autism is a neural development disorder that inhibits an individual to develop fully functional communication skills and causes a person to participate in very repetitive behavior. In most cases, an autistic child begins to display symptoms of this condition when he or she is around three years old. However, many parents find it difficult to spot the unusual behavior present by a child who has autism until much later into the child’s development. As an increasing number of parents and medical professionals become familiar with the symptoms of autism, more and more people have been diagnosed with the condition. While it can take time adjusting to caring for an autistic child, many parents report that they were very misinformed about the disorder at the time that they first learned that their child had autism. One of the easiest symptoms that parents can identify in young children who are autistic is that their child seems to be developing abnormally slowly starting at about age two. Autistic children will often seem to fall behind their peer group in learning how to speak and basic motor skills. An early telltale of autism is a child who suddenly seems to surge forward in catching up with the basics skills for his or her age only to immediately regress farther back than before. If a parent is able to spot the possible symptoms of autism in a young child, early intervention programs focused on helping autistic children develop communication skills can often be very effective. Most autistic children have mild to severe social impairments that are sometimes not identified until an autistic child enters the school system. About 30% of the children who have more advanced autism do not develop sufficient communication skills to navigate society effectively. Parents of children with autism should be aware that many medical professionals and autistic adults believe that autism should be considered simply as a condition that different from the norm rather than a disorder that needs to be, or even can be, treated. How a parent views this condition can have an enormous impact on the types of resources and strategies a parent employs in raising an autistic child.
Does the full moon have any effects on children with autism?
My Daughter is 7 years old and has Autism. Every full moon she never sleeps. It lasts for up to 3 nights. My Son is 6 years old and also has Autism but the full moon affects him in a different way, he is more tired and cranky.
Could a lack of responsiveness and interaction in an 18-month-old be early signs of autism?
Common symptoms of autism includes aloofness, lack of interaction/emotion, or mental retardation. If you suspect your son of having autism, it would be best to consult your physician for a proper diagnosis.
If the first child has a mild form of Asperger's Syndrome will the second child have it too?
It is very likely the 2nd will have aspergers or be autistic to a more severe degree than aspergers on a personal note on the subject my brothers 1st has aspergers and his 2nd is 7months old and we've found out she is so far on the autism spectrum it is trets or rhetts but to be fair my brother has mild aspergers himself so you know, its all in genetics some say, others disagree. There is a genetic component to autism spectrum disorders. The chance of having a second child with autism or Asperger's Syndrome is greater than the usual chance of having a child with an autism spectrum disorder. However, it is more likely that the second child will not have an autism spectrum disorder than that the child will have one. If the next child does have it, it could be a milder or more severe case than that of the first child. According to one study, if one child in the family has autism, the chance that another will also have autism is 10%. In that study, the chance that an identical twin has autism when the other does is 82%. Other studies give results ranging from a 5% chance of a second child with autism to a 15% chance. However, if there are two children in the family who have autism, the chance of a third child with autism increases greatly to about 30%. (One study indicates that the chance of a third child with autism is 50% if the child is male.)

Is it ok to leave a 13 year old to watch an 8 year old with autism?
ask yourself, "Is it ok for a 13 year old left to watch a 8 year old", the autism part shouldn't make a difference. This really depends on the children. If the 13 year old is very mature and is capable (and willing) to look after this child, then there shouldn't be a problem. I am sorry but i have to disagree, autism does change a lot. If the 13 year old is related to the autistic child then yes...because he or she may know what to do if the child should through a severe tantrum! I have a younger sister who is 6 but has a mind of a 2 year old....i wouldn't dare leave her alone with anyone that doesn't know her personally...
