Second pregnancy nerves

[Poiuy123]

So my little girl is now 20 months old, she not yet diagnosed but she’s showing traits of autism or a development/speech delay. I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant, when I first found out I was happy but now I can’t help think if I’m making the right choice having a second child, not just because there could be a possibility that my daughter could have a disability but I had PPD when I had her/ first year. I’m scared that I will end up going down that path again, I’m just super confused.
Has anyone out there had similar experiences to me?

Totally understandable, and while the probability of having further children with autism (if a younger one is diagnosed) increases greatly there is no certainty either way. However, autism and a speech delay look very different specially at 20M old, as autism is not a speech disorder.

I got the ASDETECT assessment app, after filling out the question on it it can back that she has a high likelihood of autism or another related condition such as a development or language delay. Your able to send it to your doctor so I did and thankfully we have an appointment for her to see a paediatrician for a review.

Can I ask what does a child at 20 month with autism look like to you?
She does seem like she’s giving more eye contact but only to me and her dad. She still isn’t pointing or saying any words but she does make noises (she sometimes sounds like a puppy) & she understands some words like daddy mummy, book, banana, but there’s still no waving or she doesn’t seemed bothered when let’s say dad comes home from work. Ive noticed that she tries to say some words but sticks at da, ma, “d” when we are saying duck & just “c” when we keep saying cat. We went to park the other day and she wasn’t interested in any of the other children or anything she was just sat on the floor playing with the bark, happy in her own little world.
When I ask her to point to the things in a book it’s like she still doesn’t know what anything is.
But I would say She’s fine with her motor skills shes always trying climb everything and running about.
