My daughter is 21 months old and for a little while I've started suspecting some form of possible autism. I'd love to get some input!
My daughter seems quite forward for her age. She has been able to count to 20, say the alphabet, she knows exact colours and knows her shapes for a good few weeks. She doesn't just mimic these but she recognises the letters, numbers etc (for instance: if I show her a certain, random letter or number, she knows what it is). She also loves to stack and organise, she lines up toys, stacks books etc, her speech also seems forward as I can hold a conversation with her. Again this has been the norm since about 18 months. She "flaps" and does some eye tracking too.
I do have history of Autism Spectrum Disorder in my family as my brother and sister have it so I'm more aware. My mum has also said that she recognises this behaviour from my siblings.
I'd love to get some input from other parents.
