Common signs of autism in children can include:
​
-
Difficulty making and maintaining friendships with other children.
-
Repeating others speech (including phrases from TV or YouTube characters).
-
Prefer predictable and consistent routines and may get anxious or struggle if things unexpectedly change within their regular routine.
-
Have special interests and prefer activities or conversations linked to this.
-
Struggle to use or read non-verbal communication (facial expressions, eye contact or body language).
-
Take things that other people say literally and struggle with ‘banter’ in the classroom.
Benefits of having your child assessed for autism:
​
-
Provides an early diagnosis (if warranted) for your child – enables them and you to have more knowledge and understanding of your child’s strengths and skills, along with the areas in which they may need more support.
-
Enables your child to access relevant therapies, support and accommodations to help them improve their social and communication skills.
-
Enables your child to feel a sense of validation in their struggles and removes the possibility of them receiving unhelpful labels in school.
