Autistic Babies' Interaction With Objects
Many babies showing signs of autism will respond to objects in a way that's different from babies without autism. For instance, autistic babies may not put objects in their mouths, which is common among babies without autism.
Babies showing signs of autism may also focus on a single part of a toy or object rather than on the whole. The wheels of a truck may be more fascinating than the whole truck. Autistic babies may pay more attention to objects than people.1‘Autism: Early Signs in Infants and Toddlers.’ Autism Science Foundation. autismsciencefoundation.org/what-is-autism/early-signs-of-autism/resources-for-recognizing-signs
