I have a 4 year old child that was recently diagnosed with autism, she is non verbal and has poor social interaction skills.
My 16 month is babbling and has various sounds, he will play "clap hands" and " peek a boo" using my hands, he has very good hand coordination. He has excellent eye contact and is extremely affectionate , he comes up for hugs. He does not wave bye bye. He does hand flapping when he is watching his favorite cartoon and when he sees he is getting something to eat. He is engaging and will sit on the floor and play and read books, he does use my hand to push the cars etc on the floor.
He has been walking since 12/13 months and can climb stairs etc, he can sit on his tricycle and push backwards, he will go forward with help. Should I be concerned that he could have autism or am I over reacting?
