Cognitive Delay in Autistic Babies
While all signs may indicate developmental, physical and emotional delay, learning appears to be a singular indicator in some babies. In many cases, they show little interest in their surroundings and will not repeat sounds or gestures shown to them by caregivers.
Some of these babies become especially suited for education, but others may show moderate to profound learning disabilities. There may be skills in one area, like music or art, and limited ability in others like sports.1‘Autism: Early Signs in Infants and Toddlers.’ Autism Science Foundation. autismsciencefoundation.org/what-is-autism/early-signs-of-autism/resources-for-recognizing-signs,2‘Signs and Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorders.’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/signs.html,3Lowry L. ‘Early Signs of Autism.’ The Hanen Centre.
