Is there something wrong with my child?

[Jizzo]

I’ve been thinking this for a while but another thread has really hit home.

I have concerns that my 10mo might have some sensory issues. She has hit all her milestones developmentally, walking at 9mo etc, but she struggles with interaction. If someone comes to the house she cries, when we do play dates she cries, if we go to anywhere a bit loud or bright she cries -but stops as soon as I get her in the car or outside. She hates getting dressed or putting on a nappy, she doesn’t like cuddles (which I find upsetting!) except when she is sleeping (we cosleep). She had feeding issues when she was younger but weaning is going okay-ish. She likes puréed stuff but doesn’t like things like pasta etc. She sleeps really badly, wakes regularly, and doesn’t bother much with toys.

I was reading about sensory processing disorder in babies and quite a few of these things cane up. Is there an issue, or is this all normal baby stuff? If it’s not, what do I do?

Thanks

Sounds 'normal' to me.

It’s all in the range of normal for a ten month old.

My daughter was similar. She screamed when she was dressed, bathed, put down, in her pram etc and wasn’t a huge cuddler unless she was ill.

She was also a late talker.

When she started speaking (at 3!) her whole demeanour changed. She’s so cuddly and smiley now, it’s hard to remember how bad she was. I think she was just frustrated because she wasn’t speaking yet.

It might be worth mentioning to your Gp for them to have a record and your mind to be eased a little.

Normal baby stuff. Particularly lockdown baby stuff.
Unless significant delays show, they often don't look at diagnosis until a couple of years into primary school too

Sounds “normal” to me.

Completely, utterly, absolutely normal.

This sounds very, very similar to my dd when she was a baby and toddler.

May not be for you, but my dd has a high functioning autism diagnosis.

My youngest also hates new people and places, however I really think it's due to lockdown as she's hardly had a chance to go anywhere her entire life.

There are a few of the other things you have said that might be worth checking out with health visitor, as my oldest was similar and now has an asd diagnosis.

I wouldn't panic just yet though, it might just be that she is kind of a high needs baby and settles down as a toddler.

My dd was like this till about 4! She is fine now but often anxiety triggered her.

Sounds like a completely normal 10 month old. DS has a diagnosis of Asperger's, but was a easy going baby. I don't think HFA manifests until later. Certainly not something you should be worrying about at her age.

I agree that it's normal- my 10mo is very similar!
