Hi, this is my first time posting. I'm a bit concerned about my 18 month old daughter. She doesn't talk yet at all. All she says is no and ball and that's very rare. There have been a few occasions when she has copied words I've said like stop but its always a one off. She's very unsociable and doesn't like interacting with anyone else other than me. She doesn't even like her big sister giving her any attention. When ever another adult or child gives her any sort of attention she will cry or run off ot push them away. She doesn't really like being touched and won't hold hands. She will be around other children and is ok unless they try to interact with her ay which point she freaks out. She also doesn't respond to her name at all, ive tried having her in a quiet setting and calling her name over and over but no reaction at all. She isn't overly interested in her hands but I do catch her sometimes staring at them. When she gets upset she will pull her own hair or hit herself in the mouth. Everything I google suggests it's early signs of autisim but i don't want to over react. When I spoke to her health visitor she wasn't very helpful, she just said she will have her 2.5 year review but if I'm still concerned at 2 she can have it early. I really want to know if this is normal for her age and if I'm over reacting or if this can genuinely be early signs of autisim.
