I usually dislike to categorize the behavior of the children I work with. Recognising autism ask a great sense of observation of you child but as signs of autism are simply stronger reactions of stress, it’s easy to over interpret. Actually, Autism is not a disease but takes part of a spectrum of how does the brain actually is working.
Symptoms categorized as autistic are even present in people without autism (and do not necessarily mean that it needs to be changed)

What to do to find out if your child is autistic
Since autism is far too complex to explain (even today, science doesn't claim to know all there is to know about Autism), we cling to stereotypical behaviors that might point us in the right direction. For exemple, children with autism love repetition, they often avoid eye contact or more often can’t even speak.
The symptoms of autism are a manifestation of a different brain function
To find out more about how the autistic brain works, we no longer need to introduce editor Colette de Bruin, who, thanks to years of work with autistic people, has been able to detect and transcribe her insights into a book.
The different way in which autistic people function leads us to become aware of their degree of alertness thanks to a system called the autism spectrum, from the autistic child who doesn't speak to the gifted child who learns everything he or she wants.

When my husband Henrik first suggested ABA therapy to me, I wasn’t sure what it meant for our son Lucas or our family. We were still digesting the diagnosis, not really knowing what the future held. Henrik said that he wanted us to try ABA to support Lucas and develop his potential.
