Speech delay and autism can look similar, but they are not the same. A child with a speech delay primarily struggles with expressive or receptive language, while other social and developmental skills are often typical. Autism affects communication and social interaction, behavior, and play. Understanding the key differences can help parents seek the right evaluation, support, and early intervention.
