10 Sinais de Autismo que Quase Ninguém Percebe

Autism is not just about speech delay. In this video, Dr. Thiago Castro, a pediatrician specializing in autism and father of Noah, presents 10 less obvious signs that many people overlook—useful for identifying in yourself, your child, or family members. You will understand: How Criterion A of the DSM-5 goes beyond speech: pragmatics, prosody, and interaction. Language milestones (12, 18, 24, and 36 months) and why speaking ≠ communicating. Low eye contact and shared interests (early warning signs). Regression of skills (waving goodbye, gestures, words) and what to observe. Hyperlexia, rigidity, attachment to objects, and sensory sensitivity. Selective eating as a clue (does not confirm a diagnosis). Sleep: why sleep disorders are so common and impact daily life. Video Content: 00:00 - Introduction: Dr. Tiago Castro welcomes viewers, explains that the video is part of a free course on YouTube, and mentions a PDF that will be available to help on the journey. 00:31 - Criterion A: Persistent deficit in communication and interaction. Dr. Tiago emphasizes that communication goes beyond speech delay and involves fluency, pragmatics, and prosody. 01:34 - Speech Milestones: Children at 18 months should speak between 30 and 50 words and answer simple questions. By 24 months, they should already be composing sentences. By age 3, their vocabulary exceeds 1,000 words. 03:12 - Sign 1: Difficulty interacting. Children with autism may play in isolation, without effective interaction with other children, and have difficulty sharing toys or making eye contact. 04:11 - Sign 2: Poor eye contact. If at 11 months the child does not share interests and does not make eye contact, the chance of an autism diagnosis is 84%. 04:42 - Sign 3: Delay or regression in speech. The loss of acquired skills, such as regression in speech or behavior, is common in autistic children. 05:56 - Sign 4: Hyperlexia. Excessive interest in numbers, letters, and geometric shapes, with a disproportionate ability in these areas, is common. 06:53 - Sign 5: Behavioral rigidity. Difficulty coping with changes, such as new clothes or changes in routine, can be a sign. 07:23 - Sign 6: Excessive attachment to objects. Children with autism may become strongly attached to specific objects, such as toys or blankets, to feel calm. 07:52 - Sign 7: Selective eating. Selective eating, with difficulty accepting new foods and textures, can be a warning sign. 08:10 - Sign 8: Sensory sensitivity. Difficulty with certain types of touch, sounds, or lights, such as not being able to touch playdough or not being able to tolerate certain smells, is a common sign. 08:46 - Sign 9: Sleep disturbances. Up to 84% of autistic children have sleep problems, such as difficulty falling asleep or maintaining sleep. 09:10 - Conclusion: Dr. Tiago provides a QR Code to access the PDF with all the signs and thanks the audience, encouraging viewers to share the video.
