Early Signs of Autism: An ASD Video Glossary

A web-based video glossary to help parents and professionals learn more about the early warning signs of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) was created by Autism Speaks, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing awareness of autism and raising money to fund autism research. This  glossary was developed together with First Signs, the leader in early identification and intervention of children with developmental delays and disorders, and Florida State University.

Learn how to spot early red flags for autism by viewing side-by-side video clips of children with typical behaviors in comparison with children with autism.
