Drawing from her personal experience as a mom and professional background as a registered nurse and behavior analyst, she breaks down common signs such as speech delays, lack of pointing, repetitive behaviors, and more.

Welcome to "Spotting Signs: Recognizing Autism in Toddlers." In this must-see episode, we uncover five crucial signs that may indicate autism spectrum disorder in toddlers, providing valuable insights for parents, caregivers, and early childhood professionals. Hosted by Dan, who shares his personal insights as someone living with Autism, ADHD, and OCD, this podcast aims to empower listeners with the knowledge to identify potential signs of autism in young children and seek early intervention and support. Through informative discussions and expert commentary, we explore the following five signs of autism in toddlers: 1. Delayed or absent speech development: We discuss how a lack of babbling, limited vocabulary, or a failure to respond to their name by the age of 12 to 18 months may be early indicators of autism. 2. Lack of eye contact and social engagement: We examine the importance of eye contact and social reciprocity in early development and how toddlers with autism may exhibit difficulties in making eye contact or engaging in social interactions. 3. Repetitive behaviors and fixations: We highlight the presence of repetitive movements, such as hand-flapping or rocking, and intense fixations on specific objects or topics as potential signs of autism in toddlers. 4. Sensory sensitivities: We discuss how heightened sensitivities to sensory stimuli, such as loud noises or textures, may manifest in toddlers with autism and impact their behavior and reactions. 5. Difficulty with transitions and changes: We explore how toddlers with autism may struggle with transitions, routines, and changes in their environment, leading to distress or resistance to new situations. Whether you're a parent observing concerning behaviors in your toddler, a caregiver working with young children, or simply interested in learning more about early signs of autism, this episode offers essential information and guidance for early identification and intervention. Join us in "Spotting Signs: Recognizing Autism in Toddlers" as we empower listeners to recognize potential signs of autism in young children and take proactive steps to support their development and well-being. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theaspieworld/support

Communicating always involves at least 2 people. When a child doesn't routinely respond and interact when you try to talk to him, play with him, or teach him something, it's highly unlikely he's learning anything! In my experience, parents first begin to suspect there's a problem with a child's development when he or she seems to ignore other people or avoid contact. Sometimes parents mis-characterize a child as being stubborn or lazy when the real problem is, he doesn't know how to respond. The good news is... YOU CAN MAKE IT BETTER! Using the simple, straightforward tips in this podcast, you'll help a child learn to notice you and eventually, begin to interact with you.

How can you teach a child to talk when he won't imitate what you say? The short answer is, you can't! You have to start somewhere else! We do that by meeting a toddler where he is- that always means making our expectations or goals easier so that a toddler can be more successful.
