Early Signs of Autism in Infants

Both Autism and Asperger syndrome are developmental disorders known as autistic spectrum disorders (ASD). They begin in childhood and last through adulthood and can cause a wide range of symptoms.

These symptoms are usually grouped into three categories:

Social interaction difficulties - including a lack of awareness or understanding of other people's emotions and feelingsReduced language and communication skills - this can involve poor language development as a child and the inability to start conversations or take part in them properly as an adult.Unusual physical behavior and thought patterns - this includes making repetitive physical movements, such as twisting or hand tapping and distress when the pattern is broken.

In England, it is estimated that 1 in every 100 children has an ASD in some form. Boys are up to four times more likely to develop an ASD than girls.

There is currently no cure for ASD. However, a wide range of treatments, combined with specialist education and behavioral programs, can help improve symptoms.

There has been so much written in the papers, and so many heartbreaking stories of parents who are convinced their child's autism has been triggered by multiple vaccinations (MMR). But this theory has not been scientifically proven and it's now generally accepted that autism is not triggered by these vaccinations and that it is a case of the symptoms of autism most usually being diagnosed around the same age that the MMR jabs are routinely given.

So what are the earlier signs of autism in infants?

Early discovery and intervention can make a huge difference to a child's life, so try to always be aware of any delays in your baby's development and discuss anything that worries you with your GP.

If you observe any of the symptoms below on a consistent basis, (so don't count your children's occasional "off" days), talk to your GP who can decide if testing is necessary. Never fear that they will think you are a fussy parent worrying unnecessarily. It's your job to pick up the signals that something is not quite right.

Look out for:

Aged 2 to 3 months: Your baby is not making eye contact.Aged 3 months: He never smiles at youAged 6 months: He doesn't laugh.Aged around 8 months: He isn't following your gaze when you look away from him.Aged 9 months: He doesn't babble.Aged one year old: He doesn't turn to you when you call his name and doesn't wave bye-bye.Aged 12 to 14 months: He hasn't spoken a single word.Aged 14 months: He shows no curiosity and isn't pointing out things.Aged 18 months: He isn't capable of "pretend" play.Debra Aspinall is an experienced journalist and the editor and leading writer for the Emma's Diary website, one of the UKs foremost pregnancy and baby websites.

Early Pregnancy Failure

One of the most common causes of losing a baby early in a pregnancy - early miscarriage - is blighted ovum or anembryonic gestation.

Basically this is said to have happened when a fertilised egg implants as it should in the uterus, but for some reason stops developing further.

Some women are unaware this is happening and presume their pregnancy is developing as normal, and a scan around the 12 week mark will often, sadly, be the time they discover the truth.

Most women who suffer an early pregnancy failure of this type will have a positive pregnancy test result in the first few weeks of conception as the usual pregnancy hormones will be secreted. She may also experience many of the early pregnancy symptoms - sore breasts, increased urination, tiredness, even nausea.

However when the embryo fails to develop these pregnancy hormones subside and she may experience some spotting or bleeding - but not always of a quantity to be noticeable. Some woman may have cramps.

Others just "know" there is something not quite right. Maybe they simply don't "feel" pregnant any more. Maybe they can tell they have not grown at all for several weeks. If a woman suspects there is something not right with her pregnancy she should see her GP and arrange an early scan. This will confirm if there is indeed an empty gestational sac.

Most women will then naturally miscarry, that is they will expel the gestational sac and accumulated tissue, usually by the end of the first trimester (sometimes earlier).

But if a woman is too upset, or too uncomfortable to wait for this to occur naturally, a GP can prescribe medication to speed up the elimination process or they may recommend a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure to remove remaining tissues.

It is generally considered safe for the woman to get pregnant again straight away, although most women prefer to have one natural menstrual period before trying to conceive (which usually happens four to six weeks after the miscarriage). A barrier method of contraception such as a condom should be used if the woman wants to delay pregnancy.

Some studies have shown that it is better to get pregnant again sooner rather than later. Statistically women who get pregnant within six months of having a miscarriage increase their odds of having a healthy pregnancy and have fewer miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies than women who wait six to 12 months after miscarriage.

But the woman must do what feels right for her. Losing a baby at any stage is heartbreaking and only she will know when she is physically - and mentally - ready to go through the emotions of pregnancy again.
