Rationale 1: Although boys are affected more often than girls, lack of eye contact and resistance to physical touch are common symptoms of autism.
Rationale 2: Although this child is not interacting with other children, it is obvious that the child is aware of other children and interested in their activities, actions that are not indicative of autism.
Rationale 3: This child may be developmentally delayed, as this behavior is typical of a 10- to 12-month-old child.
Rationale 4: Children with autism often have language delays and impairment. This child does not have any obvious language issues.
