There are several red flags that parents can be aware of if they have some concerns whether or not their child may have autism:

• Child does not gesture by 12 months
• Child does not babble by 12 months
• Child does not speak single words by 16 months
• Child does not speak two-word phrases by 24 months

While these red flags do not necessarily indicate that your child has autism, it may be a good idea to consult your physician regarding your concerns.
