Hand and feet swirling 8 months old

[hol92]

My little girl is 8 months old and always twirling her hands and feet mostly is she is annoyed or exited, my two year old has autism and I’m now finding myself looking for the signs in her, this is the only thing so far that I’ve noticed she does the same as what he did, did anyone’s neurotypical kids do this?

My daughter used to do this when she was a baby. Adult now and definitely not neuro diverse.

My neurotypical daughter did this constantly at that age. My autistic son didn't.

Thank you so much for your responses I’m finding it really hard to not compare and look for first signs of autism , and I know it doesn’t matter if she’s autistic too but hate how much I’m looking into the things she does x

We used to call it "conjuring" - look, the baby's conjuring again! Like a tiny magician 😁

DD2 did this, she 18 months now, think she stopped doing it once she was up on her feet and cruising. I thought the same as you.

I'm fairly certain both DDs are neurotypical. DD1 never did this x

Austic first child and my second born did this. I was absolutely terrified, she also did weird little tics. However she’s three now and fairly confident she isn’t autistic.

They are just learning new skills and probably enjoys their new trick.

Mine did this too, she grew out of it after she could walk at about 13 months.

My daughter did this and she is Autistic, but many other signs followed over the years.

@littlecreeature what’s tics did your little one do? X

Tensing her arms and legs and shaking. Still does this sometimes. I’m pretty sure she has something called motor stereotypies.
