A 3.5-year-old child with autism may show a lack of interest in social interactions, fail to respond when called, frequently avoid eye contact, or have difficulty understanding others' emotions and thoughts. They may also display limited facial expressions, gestures, or body language during communication, or exhibit abnormal tone and speech rhythm when speaking. Additionally, they might engage in repetitive, stereotyped behaviors.
