• By 9 months or closely thereafter, there will a lack of sounds, smiles, or other facial expressions that are usually shared by with a children (example: no expression of surprise when playing peek-a-boo), or response to a smile from someone else
• By 12 months or closely thereafter, no attempts to speak (baby talk, babbling), no attempt to get your attention, does not reach out to be picked up
• By 12 months or closely thereafter, lack of gestures (example: pointing, waving bye-bye)

• By 24 months or closely thereafter, not putting two words together to express something meaningful (I go, doggie here, me want)
• At any age, loss of speech or baby talk (babbling), or social skills
