If your child was diagnosed with autism

[anxiousmotherof1]

What were they like at 11/12 months old ?
Am extremely worried about my baby boy as he has failed the asq communication and social test . I know is early but he is 11 months already so i dont rhink much can change in a month ? He does not point or wave bye bye he does not give me his toy or roll the ball back at me or anything like that
He aso does not initiate peekaboo but he will laugh when we do it
He is already walking he has eye contact but not when he is busy playing with something

At 11 month my boys were developing completely "normally", both started to talk etc at a year old but stopped at around 18 months. At this age they changed very quickly and also stopped making eye contact

Thats interesting @Tatiebee i didnt know that was possible .

I think it's fairly common and speech regression particularly is a red flag for ASD.

I had no concerns about my ds at that age, they came later at 18 months plus. He was diagnosed with ASC just before he turned 4.

At 11/12 months my ds would fling toys around as he didn't know how to play with them, would stare at the TV for hours, started running in circles, couldn't wave, clap etc. No stranger anxiety, very happy and sociable.

@Thekidsarefightingagain is like you are talking about my ds

Worth getting his hearing & eyesight checked. Ds was classed as developmentally delayed for years but we were always told it could be dyspraxia or ADD or ASD. Working on his attention, turntaking and teaching him how to play seemed to bring him out of his world a bit.
