One of the last things I wanted to know is, how do you know if your child has autism? I have found so much information on how you know if your child has autism by symptoms. If your child does not babble or gesture by 12 months, does not say single words by 16 months, does not say two-word phrases by 24 months, or has loss in language or social skills at any age than a doctor should immediately evaluate your child for autism. Some other "red flags" that children should be evaluated are the child does not respond to their name, they can't explain what they want, they don't follow directions, they seem to be deaf at times, they throw violent tantrums, they have odd movement patterns, they don't know how to play with toys, they don't smile when smiled at, they have poor eye contact, they prefer to play alone, they tune people out, and so much more.
