Potential autism

Hi everyone,

I have noticed some potential signs of autism in my 19 month old but as he is my first I’m not really sure if I’m overthinking this??

◦	Doesn’t wave or point ( but can clap)
◦	Has gone from saying 3-4 words to none unless prompted (if I say his name he copies that but nothing else) 
◦	Walks on top toes most of the time 
◦	Selectively responds to name 

He does however maintain eye contact, smiles at me and giggles. Understand instructions EG (come to mummy etc)

I called my HV last week but she didn’t seem too worried because my childminder hasn’t raised any concerns. But I cant shake this nagging feeling in the back of my mind.

Thanks x x
