She maintains good eye contact, claps, lots of babbling, has maybe a vocabulary of 5 or 6 words. She smiles when we smile at her. She is lively, enjoys playing with her brother and me and my husband. She has a 1mo sibling that she is largely indifferent towards however. She don't seem shy or reserved in public or with strangers. She flaps her arms around a little when excited. She tries to repeat words.
But she doesn't wave, even when we're waving to her, she seldom points, and I don't think she responds to her name. She responds to other things (certain commands she's very familiar with for example), but not consistently or very rarely to her name.
She had a low birth weight, and we're a bilingual household. We generally speak to her in my husband's native tongue, but she hears us speaking to one another mostly in English. No autism in the family.
A HV is visiting next week about something else (feeding and sleeping were an issue between 12 and 14 months but these are largely resolved now).
Should I be concerned? I keep reading about how not responding to their name is a big indicator of autism in toddlers. Also that waving is a milestone that should be reached by 16 months.
Thank you for reading and I'd be grateful for any advice or to hear of your experiences.
