Ming from Agents of Speech breaks down autism red flags like limited eye contact and lining up toys, but warns these aren't definitive. Other issues like hearing problems can look similar. Get a professional assessment instead of guessing online.
Today we're talking about autism, whether your child has it or what's it about and so on. And we can stop this video here because I don't know. I don't know if your child has asd, Autism Spectrum disorder or not. And that's because if you're worried, you should go get an assessment. If you tell me over the Internet and I tell you that yes or no, that's illegal, I cannot do that, and it's unethical to do so. And I know that what you're doing right now is that when you're searching about this stuff, you go online and you find this video is because you already seen some of the red flags for autism. You've seen not enough eye contact, you know, lining up toys, spinning stuff, not responding to name, doesn't follow instructions, this kind of things. Well, these are risk factors. And red flags for autism doesn't mean it naturally correlates. Like naturally equals to autism. Right. And as an actual fact, other types of disorders may have these problems as well, which is not autism might be a language disorder, might be just something to do with hearing or a blocked ear or something. So all these things you have to clear out if your child is old enough and they're service, go get an assessment. Okay?
