For the last 6 weeks my DD has started shaking her head, but not in an extravagant way, it's quite subtle most of the time. She can be watching TV, or interacting when she does it. It just goes side to side for a few seconds. I've googled it & all I seem to get told by Dr Google is it's likely she has autism... so for the moment ignoring that, I'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? She is generally a very happy child, points, waves, claps, knows one or two words (cat & car, lets face it they sound the same coming from her) she did have a stroke at birth but I sent a video I have of her doing it to an epilepsy nurse who said it's nothing seizure related. So I'm not sure if it's a phase, something that could lead to a behavioural issue, an ear infection (no recent temps or too much grouchiness so not really thinking that route) or... who knows! Any advice much appreciated :-)
