Hello
I have a friend, and although I do not want to judge. I am a bit worried about her 2 year old dd. She behaves very well but shows, no intrest in adults or other children, no eye contact or responses to questions from myself. I have never seen her smile,talk, laugh or even cry, haven't seen a tantrum either. Her mum says she is just shy and does come out a bit more at home or with other relatives a little. Although at her 2nd birthday party i just saw her hide between people's legs and not engage with anyone or any of the new toys.
she is 2.5 now and i see her every week, and try and get her to talk or laugh or play with me, but nothing happens. Again i don't want to interfere and label but could it be mild Autisim, or just some acute shyness.
