Can signs of autism spectrum disorder be noted in infancy?
1) Yes, the neurological differences associated with autism spectrum disorder are so profound that the disorder is easily recognizable shortly after birth.
2) Sometimes parents notice differences in infancy, but those differences may occur in infants without autism spectrum disorder and are often dismissed.
3) No, because the development of children with autism spectrum disorder is normal until they reach preschool age.
4) No, unless the individual has severe autism spectrum disorder, the signs and symptoms will not be noticeable until the child starts school.
