Physical Signs of Autism in Babies
Besides not demonstrating normal motor skills, there are other physical signs autistic babies may show. Babies with early signs of autism have difficulty lifting their heads when they're lying on their stomachs. Later on, when sitting, they may not be able to keep their heads steady.
Eye movement may be affected as well. These babies may not track moving objects or people with their eyes and may fail to make eye contact with someone directly in front of them. 1‘Autism: Early Signs in Infants and Toddlers.’ Autism Science Foundation. autismsciencefoundation.org/what-is-autism/early-signs-of-autism/resources-for-recognizing-signs
