Autism is also known as autism, and children with this disorder are often referred to as "children of the stars."
Autism often develops slowly before age 3 years of age. The core symptoms are social communication disorders, language communication disorders, stereotyped behavior, and narrow range of interests. In addition, some children with autism may have other mental illnesses.

At present, the cause of autism is not fully understood, mainly based on the interaction of genetic factors and environmental factors.

How can parents detect autistic children as early as possible?
According to the "five noes" preliminary identification method proposed by the Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics Group of the Pediatrics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association.
Children with the following signs or symptoms may need further screening for early detection of autism:
1. No (less) look
Refers to abnormal eye contact, autistic people show a lack of meaningful social stimuli or reduced visual gaze at an early stage, avoiding eye contact with people.
The study found that people who were eventually diagnosed with autism spent only 1/2 of their eyes on the human eye at the age of two.

2. No (less) should
Children with autism in early childhood turn a deaf ear to the cries of their parents. Insensitivity to name is often one of the signs of early detection of autism by parents.
There is also evidence that insensitive naming responses not only identify autism from normal children, but also children with autism and other developmental problems.

3. No (less) finger
Children with autism lack proper physical movements and cannot make demands on objects of interest.
People with autism show a reduced frequency of use of body movements by 12 months of age (e.g., not nodding to indicate need, shaking head to indicate no, purposeful pointing, gesture gestures, etc.).

4. No (less) language
Most people with autism have language delays, which is also a major concern for parents.
Although language delay is not a prerequisite for an autism diagnosis, and other developmental adaptation disorders also have language delays, it is important to exclude autism for children with language delays.

5. Improper
Children with autism may experience inappropriate use of objects, including rotation, arrangement, and sustained visual exploration of objects, around the age of one. For example, lining cars in a row, spinning objects and keeping an eye on them, etc.
Improper speech should also be noted, which is manifested as the regression of speech after the appearance of normal language, difficult to understand, repeated, and meaningless language.

Parents can also identify by the following early characteristics of children with autism:
- Children with autism do not smile at the face of others at 4 months;

- The autistic child had no hearing problems at 12 months but did not respond when he called the TA name;
- Children with autism cannot speak a word at 16 months;
- Children with autism do not point with their index finger at 18 months;
- Children with autism do not play pretend games at 18 months (e.g., housekeeping);
