Hi everyone,
I hope you don't mind me asking you all this question!
I'm just wondering because my daughter is almost 10 months old, she's got allergies and a few other things going on, but the reason why I'm asking is because she-
- Doesn't laugh - she has occasionally giggled for one second but then that's it. She smiles a lot though and has great eye contact.
- She is very quiet and serious. People always comment that 'she's such a good baby!' Because she's so quiet.
- She doesn't crawl yet, or show any interest in it. (I know all babies are different)
- She does not babble.
She has started to clap and wave, which is so cute to see!
The main reason I ask is that it has been mentioned by our paediatrician/ SALT / Dietitan, that she could have a global delay or Autism.
Obviously I know that she is very young, and there's no way she could be diagnosed at this point. I'm just curious to know if anyone else's baby presented the same!
I'm more 'tuned in' to these things because there is only 10 months between her and her brother, who never stops laughing and met all milestones as they came. So if I didn't have him I may not have been aware that she's a little different!
Love her to bits though, but I do wish she'd laugh!
Interested to hear from anyone!
Thanks 😊
