Waving backwards, and waving *after* the person has left the room?

Just wondering if anyone has experience of 1 year olds doing either of these things and it being okay?

I have googled and apparently there is a strong link between waving backwards and autism, has anyone else found this to be the case?

My little boy doesn't wave backwards, but can wave and say bye bye for example, after the person has gone. I have no worries about him.

Do you have any other concerns? I personally wouldn't be worried by that alone x

It’s not something I’ve come across before. Sorry @Blueoval4, I know that’s not much help.

Have you had the 12 month check with your HV yet?
