Hi guys I’m a bit worried about my 23 month old, she flaps her hands since she was about 8 months (more like a twirls and stiffens) a few seconds when she’s excited or watching tv. I know this maybe a sign of Autsim. She doesn’t have any other signs apart from doesn’t talk much she can say most words and is able to communicate with me but no sentences. Has any one else’s child flapped at this age. She is a fussy eater and doesn’t like certain textures..

You may be better off asking on SNChildren or SNChat boards, because they deal with questions about children. This board is for questions about adults.

Having said that, if that's the only trait you've observed at that age and milestones are on target, then it's unlikely. However, no random on the internet can say one way or another, if you're worried, do the MChat-R test online and depending on the results see your HV or GP.
