My friend is worried about her 16 mo ds as he shows quite obsessive behaviour and she isnt sure if it could be a sign that he is on the spectrum. I don't know about these this and my ds is only 7mo so not sure what is normal for a toddler, but I said I would ask on here...
He gets obsessed about odd little things eg he loves playing with door handles and gets upset if he can't get to them.
She has bought him 4 identical comfort toys as she knows how upset he would be to lose one.
He is funny about grass - doesn't like sitting on it, touching it etc, which she thinks could be a sensory thing?
As I said, I have no idea what this means, but thought there would be someone on here who does!

Are these signs of asd? Or just normal toddler behaviour?
