[Dr. Kokil Mathur]

Hi!
Well, if you suspect autism then the following signs and symptoms are indicative of autism: child is not really social and prefers to remain alone than in company; flapping of hands and other repeated body movements, going in circles, repeating words, repeating tasks etc; not maintain eye contact; no social smile; avoid words and prefers gestures etc.
However a comprehensive investigation by a pediatrician is required for a confirmed diagnosis. Hope this helps. Take care!
