Toddler uses parents hand as a tool

[Jyoti2610]

My 21 months old daughter uses my hand as tool, she is verbal, she has an average eye contact, saying hi bye gestures , showing all bodyparts but not communicating for her needs. Pointing the things in book when asked but not pointing to things she wants or far away from her. I am concerned a lot as a red flag of autism. Pls guide.

Personally, I think that's quite clever and shows good leadership skills - getting you to do stuff! But seriously, that alone doesn't point to ASD. My DS didn't want my input, he would be desperately independent and want to do things himself.

Thanks for your reply, waiting for development pediatrician appointment.

@Jyoti2610 how did your appointment turn out ?
