On Youtube you will find a number of illustrative video's about autism from parents, teachers and psychologist. Please find here a selection:
Autism Awareness
The face of autism
Autism usually shows after the age of three. Untill then you barelky can recognise any deviant behaviour in the child and it seems to develop like any other child. The mother of Quinn made the following video:

Early Signs of Autism
Autism is not always so easy to recognize as it might look as if the child has a normal development like any other child. In my practice I see that even doctors are not able to put the right diagnoses and tell parents that it will go over, keeping both the child and parents sometimes years away from the so necessary proper treatment and guidance.
Look at Jade in this video, three weeks before the parents discoverd that she is autistic. Note the absence of eye contact, and lack of sharing her achievement with the mother, although the mother is very vocal, and seated right next to Jade. These are critical early signs of autism. Jade never lined things up, as some children with autism do, she enjoys stacking objects. Notice how Jade must continue to build, even while upset that her tower falls. At the end, she plays a song on a toy, the same song she would play each time she had successfully completed her tower. Each time, she would stand back, and stare at it, while the song played, (this is adherence to specific, nonfunctional routines or rituals, another early sign of autism) but not once, did Jade ever "show" me her tower.
The mother: "At the time, I had thought she simply inherited her daddy's superior engineering skills" More video's abou early sympthoms: |
