Baby boy is 7weeks5 days old and we had our check this morning with the GP.
when she was checking his eyes she was worried about his lack of eye contact and has referred him to an eye specialist. She said he can see as she could see him looking around the room but said her concern is that his eyesight might not be as good as we would like. I asked if it isnt his eyesight what could it be, and she said “possibly a very early sign of autism”!
Obviously i was so shocked and i cant stop crying worrying that he is either blind or autistic and im constantly looking at everything he does for signs.
He isnt laughing yet or answering to his name. He is starting to smile, but constantly flaps his arms.
i dont really know the point of this just reassurance i guess
