Hi,
My 5 month old has been hand flapping for a week now. Just his left hand and by flapping I mean he keeps opening and closing it.
I wasn't worried about it at all but stupidly googled it and lots of information came up about this being a red flag for autism.
I suffer greatly with health anxiety so reading this is a real trigger for me.
Have anyone else's little ones also hand flapped? I'm wondering if this could also be a development thing?
Thank you in advance x
