What are the early signs of autism? A guide for Lahore parents
Worried about eye contact, speech or routines? Common early signs of autism and when to book an assessment in Lahore.
By Foundations First, Clinical team
What is autism in everyday terms?
Autism (ASD) affects how a child communicates, connects with others and responds to sensory input. It is a spectrum, so no two children look exactly alike. Many Lahore parents notice small differences long before anyone uses the word autism.
Which early signs do parents often notice?
You might see limited eye contact, not turning when their name is called, few gestures like pointing or waving, speech that arrives late or sounds unusual, strong need for sameness, or play that looks different from peers. Sensory reactions (covering ears, avoiding certain textures) are also common.
When should I seek an autism assessment in Lahore?
If several signs persist for months and affect daily life, an expert opinion is better than waiting and hoping. Support at an autism centre can start while skills are still developing. You do not need a perfect checklist. Describe what you see and we will guide you.
