Everyone has an idea of what autism looks like, and many of us study our children for any telltale signs of it. The problem is that many of the symptoms alone are perfectly normal in children, but it’s a collection of them together that can indicate autism. For example, my son loved ceiling fans, which worried me to no end because I’d read that a fascination with ceiling fans could indicate autism. In our case, he just so happened to like fans, but otherwise developed typically. While it can be difficult to balance watchfulness and worry when it comes to our children’s health, it’s important to know what to look for because early intervention can be so vital in the treatment of autism. No two children with autism are exactly the same, but here’s a list from the Mayo Clinic of 18 common traits of children with autism that encompass social skills, behavior, and language. It’s a good list to be familiar with, not to obsess over but to help you identify any red flags. The site provides other helpful information about the disorder as well. If you have any concerns, however, the best thing to do is contact your doctor. Sitting home and obsessing over things like ceiling fans isn’t going to do anyone any good.
