The Silent Milestones of Autism

Share this:

Zayan was 18 months old, quiet and compliant. His parents were delighted at how “well-behaved” he was. But he made no eye contact, didn’t point, didn’t babble.

His parents still thank me for “not waiting and watching.”


The Lesson Learned

A quiet toddler isn’t always an easy one—silence can be a symptom. Early identification of autism changes lifelong outcomes.
