Hello doctor! my husband and I got married three years back. We welcomed our first child last year. He is one now. We were not aware earlier but there were few symptoms concerning us. His usual activities were a little uncommon from the normal babies. We took him to doctor and came to know that he is showing signs of autism. Doctor please tell me what are the risk factors involving autism spectrum disorder?
