I am having a lot of anxiety and sleepless nights about one of my twins who is almost 14 months old .
He is raising alot of red flags when I google stuff and everything says autism.
I really just want to do my best to help him but I am being told by everyone to wait . He is booked for a hearing test on Monday just to check .
Could anyone tell me what if any signs they saw in their babies at 14 months old who ended up with a diagnosis of asd am I panicking for nothing ? Any advice would be so appreciated
Things concerning me
Not responding to name
No pointing,waving or clapping
Slightly fussy eater will eat with hands but is selective over certain textures
Hard to get his eye contact for longer than a few seconds unless singing to him or playing a game
also does not seemed fussed when I pick him up from the childminders ?
Things he does do
Babbles mamma , daddada but not in context
Laughs and does make eye contact when we play peekaboo or blow bubbles / tickle him .. is this considered shared play ?
He will also try to imitate some games if I ask him to put a ball in a toy he’ll copy but won’t really stare at me while doing so he’s very focused on the ball
Hit all physical milestones on time walking by 12 months , cruising crawling by 8/9 months etc
Can anyone reassure me did anyone’s 14 month old behave similar and end up neurotypical ?
I haven’t slept for weeks as I just want to do what’s best for my baby .
