Peachess:
I'm a very curious person hope you don't mind tho. Did you discover it when he was still a baby? Is it hereditary one of the factors that causes autism?

Let me answer this. The cause of autism is unknown. Some children develop normally and then start to regress or lose the abilities and speech they once had after events which could include Immunization. It could also be a child meeting other milestones but not learning from the environment.
People on the Autism spectrum, contrary to what I have read on this post, have the potentials to be geniuses once it's well managed. A lot of exceptional people including Messi,Mark Zuckerberg ,Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs have all demonstrated traits of people on the Autism Spectrum.
A classic trait of people on the autism spectrum is Repetitive actions. Because they can do the same things over and over again, if it's rightly channeled, they become geniuses in their fields.

@Yemi1261,

Do you have a diagnosis now?
Please get him assessed developmentally so you can know what you are running with. There are developmental pediatricians. They are the only ones who can to a large extent give you a right diagnosis. With what you said, it's more than just speech.

Check this post and see if your son has those red flags. He is still young and can make significant gains with the right frequency,intensity and duration of targeted activities.

Autism has no effect on intelligence. Don't get it twisted.Seek help early,be observant.

There is ability in disability. Never say Never.

Autism in Nigeria is increasing by the day.Have you observed any child that prefers to play alone and doesn't "show" objects to adults around during such plays? Is your child's speech delayed? If you suspect something is wrong, please seek help early.

It's World Autism Awareness Week.

This week has been set aside to promote awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
People living with Autism simply have a different way of doing things. It's not a disability, just a different kind of ability.
Early intervention makes a world of difference in raising independent children or in the recovery process.

Once you notice any of the below red flags,please seek help.
It is a spectrum disorder, therefore symptoms differ from person to person.

Here are Red Flags to look out for according to Baby Centre

Signs of autism in babies younger than 12 months old

At this age, picking up on signs of autism involves paying attention to whether your child is meeting developmental milestones. Here are some things to watch for:

1. Doesn't show interest in faces.
2. Doesn't make eye contact, doesn't smile, and may even seem to look right through you.
3. Doesn't always react to sounds. Doesn't respond to his name, doesn't turn around to see where a sound is coming from, or doesn't appear startled when he hears a loud noise. In other situations, his hearing may seem fine.
4. Doesn't like being cuddled or touched.
5. Doesn't show interest in typical baby games, like peekaboo.
6. Doesn't babble or show other early signs of talking.
7. Doesn't use gestures, like reaching for you when she wants to be held.

Signs of autism in toddlers 12 to 24 months old

1. Doesn't use gestures. Doesn't shake his head yes or no. Doesn't wave goodbye or point to things he wants.
2. Doesn't point out objects to show interest in the world around her. By 14 to 16 months, most kids point to get your attention to share something they're interested in, such as a puppy or new toy.
3. Doesn't use single words by 16 months or two-word phrases by 24 months.
4. Loses verbal or social skills. Used to babble or speak a few words, or showed interest in people, but now he doesn't.
5. Withdraws. Seems to tune people out and be in her own world.
6. Walks on his toes or doesn't walk at all.

What could be wrong please.I haven't been a very healthy eater i must admit.

@Op, did you install any software recently before this started? If Yes, You might need to uninstall the software. This is from experience.
It was an anitivirus in my case.
