When did you guys know your little one was showing signs of being Autistic?
Im going to sound abit crazy my dd is 14 months she cannot walk, she doesn’t play with toys she will just hold them, she will sometimes press a button or open and close a door but not actually play, she use to eat everything feed herself the lot now she just throws it and doesn’t seem interested in food, she doesn’t clap, wave, blow kisses, high fives nothing like that, she was answering to her name and recently that has stopped, the only ‘command’ i would say she sometimes knows is come to mama, she will babble a lot the only clear words she says is dada mama (sometimes but rarely nana, baba), she loves tags on 3 soft toys which are connected together and she has to hold it constantly or rub it on her nose/face she even has to sleep with it or she will cry. She has recently found her hands she keeps putting them infront of her and she will just look at them. Those are just some of the things from the top of my head, I had her hv appointment at 11 months and the hv didn’t have any concerns but neither did I until she turned 1, she hasn’t got another hv appointment until Shes 2 but im thinking about booking another one..
Am I over reacting?
i feel like I might be but then i don’t know I have a ds who is on the way to being diagnosed with adhd/asd and he is 6 and I know you shouldn’t compare children but he played with toys from early on he did all the gestures he walked he understood early on he just couldn’t talk ect ..
Any advice is much appreciated
