Can you get a doctor's appointment and also raise this with the health visitor? Were there any concerns at his one year review?

A lot of the things you mention do sound typical of autism (toe walking, finger flicking, not responding to name, not yet talking at 17 months, poor eye contact). Hope you can get him assessed and he gets the support he needs x
