Infant autism signs?
my son is 10 months old and shows these signs that worry my husband and i ..help says dada, babbles, but could go for hours without saying anything. makes eye contact but for short periods at a time, shows sign to pain, but will hit his head or something similar sometimes and doesn't even react. likes to tap his fingers on his left hand, has no problem being held by others and usually shows no emotion when they are with them. things that make me think he doesn't have it he responds to his name 90 % of the time if he isn't side tracked, interacts with mommy and daddy great, laughs, smiles, but not always. objects when we leave the room or take a toy away, feeds himself finger foods, does not mind change in activity, likes to be out of the house, fussier at home, i think he gets bored. he still loves ceiling fans, i guess that is supposed to be a worry, i don't know, are we being too cautious? he isn't really a cuddler, but will lay on your shoulder if he's tired....help
