Many autistic people experience one or more of these problems:

• ADHD: Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder
• Asthma
• Gastrointestinal disorders like reflux, constipation, diarrhea, and celiac disease
• Ear infections
• Eczema or skin allergies
• Food allergies
• Mental health issues
• Seizures
• Severe headaches
• Sleep disorders

This does not mean these problems are signs of autism, or that your autistic child will develop all of these problems. But these are all things to watch for. Talk to your child’s doctor if you are concerned.
