Babies often exhibit a wide range of behaviors as they grow and explore the world around them. One behavior that can sometimes be observed is a baby’s fascination with lights, which may include staring intently at light sources such as lamps or sunlight. While this can be part of normal development, it can also be an early sign of autism spectrum disorder<\/a> (ASD) in some cases. Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental condition characterized by challenges with social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. It’s important to understand that not all babies who stare at lights have autism, as infants typically have a natural curiosity about their environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
