A question I get asked frequently is “does my baby have autism?” Many times, the answer isn’t so simple, especially since babies are sometimes delayed in development, but they don’t necessarily have autism. Another child with autism could have similar skills, but one might catch up, while another may regress even further. In today’s video blog, I’ll be covering how tell if a baby has autism and what signs to look out for. While autism symptoms in babies can vary, parents should follow the CDC milestones to best identify when and where delays are present.

I’ll also provide some strategies on what to do about autism, if you feel your child may have autism or is showing many of the signs. Parents should also be aware of the risks of having a second or third baby. Can a second child get autism? The answer is maybe, there is a good chance it can and a good chance it can’t. I will discuss this rate a little bit in this week’s video too, so you don’t want to miss it!

Dr. Mary Barbera. I fell into the autism world as an autism mom in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then, she became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author of The Verbal Behavior Approach. Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents. Whether you’re looking for autism parenting strategies, working with development delays in children, or in search of autism help for professionals, I can encourage you to subscribe to the channel and join me on my journey.
