The following may be some signs of autism. One need not have all of them. Unusual sensitivity to light or sound; flickering lights or a vacuum cleaner can provoke uncontrolled screaming.

In fact, 10-15% of otherwise normal children do not reach language milestones at the expected time. See similar questions...

Birds in this condition obviously have trouble feeding. You might see them staying on the ground, under the feeder, trying to find seeds. If the infected bird dies, it is usually not from the conjunctivitis itself, but rather from starvation, exposure, or predation as a result of not being able to see.

Others develop what is known as segmental vitiligo, where the patches develop in only one area or on only one side of the body. See similar questions...
