When do symptoms begin?

The signs of autism appear during the first 3 years of a child’s life. Most parents suspect that something is wrong by the time the child is 18 months old and seek professional help by the time the child is 2 years old. Some children with autism appear normal before ages 1 to 2, then suddenly regress and lose language or social skills they previously possessed.
