I am a huge worrier and recently split with DS’s dad who has moved in with his other woman. I’ve been a mess. I am not sure if this has fed into my anxiety but I seem to be 100% caring for ds as he is never around, the last two weeks he has cancelled seeing ds etc. I’m worried ds might have autism or similar as I am so scared at managing it largely alone. Ex dh put this in my head a few months ago when we had a particularly hard time with ds but now I can see these traits quite clearly… do they mean anything? He’s 14 months.
Long periods playing alone, 20 mins to half an hour he will play with you sitting nearby.
No words yet.
has a car with buttons, can press them himself but if I am there he picks up my hand and puts it on the button waiting for me to make it make a noise
along periods of sleep, can sleep up to 14 hours some nights and refuses to nap in the day, often just a 45 min nap and that’s it
started to refuse certain foods
makes eye contact but not when you show him something and I think he’s supposed to check your reaction or something from what I’ve read?
can’t walk yet but does the downward dog pose on his head a lot
im worrying so much about the future and this just feels like another thing on top of everything else, does anyone have an experience of whether these are signs?
