Signs of Autism in Babies When They Play
Play is often a solitary activity for babies showing signs of autism. They tend to spend more time with objects than with other people. Interaction with other babies is limited, and autistic babies appear to have no concept of sharing or competing with another baby for a toy or other object.
The autistic baby's lack of eye contact discourages other children from interacting with them, and they don't offer encouraging smiles or hold a toy out to another baby.
