There are some social behaviors that will trigger your thought to go get an initial evaluation. Most autisms have some social component to them that is deficited in the ways of interacting with others. Oftentimes autistic children are much more inward and unable to interact with the world around them, meaning other people. They're fine one on one, but often they have a difficult time integrating themselves with their peers or into a group, so you will start to see some of that. But that's not to say your child has autism, more that there is something you want to take a look at and see what is developmentally appropriate for your child and what is not.
