My 13 Month old baby will not respond to its name at all.. She will not clap of wave bye bye. She has recently started to stand and take steps on the pusher but she is very lazy when it comples to milestones. My baby is usually very active but she won’t babble much maybe sometimes. I am worried that she has some type of delays of maybe austism please someone help me ?

Hearing has been properly checked?
It's early day for autism, though DN was diagnosed at just 24 month

Nope She hasn’t had an hearing check yet I will chase that up with the doctors. Did you have the same behaviour with your baby around 12-14 months ? Thankyou for the reply

Yep, I think it’s too early to diagnose autism. Definitely get her checked to give you some peace of mind, and in case there is something else going on. A hearing check sounds like a great suggestion. Does she smile and look at you lots?

Walking and talking sometimes take longer. It’s not a competition and she will get there.

Thank-you for reminding me I will definitely get her ears checked out. We do sometimes have a giggle together and sometimes she does smile but sometimes she doesn’t well I feel like sometimes she will look me on the eye sometimes she wont its really confusing I can really identify it. I’m really concern because she doesn’t recognise her name at all and theres no byes and waves and the clapping stopped since 10 months..

Good morning all,
Looking for some advise regarding my 22month old son development. His nanny approached me yesterday to say she was slightly concerned about some of his behaviours- he is babbling but still has no real words as such. Also she has noticed he is flapping his hands and occasionally standing on tip toes which she said may point to autism spectrum and to speak to HV. Obviously this upset me terribly and I feel sick with worry. The hand flapping i have seen is only when he is waving bye to someone which I suppose looking back initially I had taught him waving with both hands he doesn’t seem to do this when he is upset or outside of someone saying bye bye also he will occasionally walk on tip toes but not everyday and I thought he was just exploring a sensation. I guess i am just wondering if anyone has advise relating to ASD and thinks the above warrants further review or if it can be common toddler traits fr his age? He is my only child so find it hard to know what behaviour should be of concern?
He engages very well with people, seems to have no issue with eye contact and is very playful. He understands simple instructions getting coat, putting on shoes, will sit and read and book while pointing at the items while I read. He responds and looks when I call his name. He hasn’t had a lot of social interaction with other kids due to lockdown but will show an interest in other kids when he sees them often wanting to give them a hug. I have contacted HV who is sending an development exercise to do with him so they can review but has said delayed speech at his age can be common espec with boys and does not necessarily mean it is ASD related? Appreciate any advise
