What are the early signs of autism?
I have a 9 week old son. I'm very worried that he might be showing early signs of autism. He doesn't really make eye contact. He does for a split second then looks away. And when I talk to him it seems like he stares at my mouth, not my eyes. Also he doesn't seem to look in the direction of noises. His hearing was tested at the hospital and he passed, plus he flinches to loud sounds. He seems to smile frequently but he also has a gas issue so I don't really know if they are " social" smiles. When I talk to him he does react as far as waving his arms and kicking his feet and he lets outs a coo every once in a while, again I'm not sure if this is gas related. He doesn't resist being cuddled as I have heard many autistic babies do. I have googled this and I've gotten mixed answers, but all of them say that you can notice signs as early as infancy. I guess I'm looking for personal experiences. Im just worried

So my baby is 6 months old and i recently read an article about early signs of autism that concerned me. Some of the early signs include not making eye contact not smiling when smiled at not having a conversation i coo then he coos back and autisitc babies focus soley on one object instead of a variety of objects. and not responding to peek a boo gamesmy baby makes eye contact, smiles all the time, loves peek aboo but he doesn't have a " conversation" with me and sometimes he fixates on one toy imparticular. is it possible he could have autism?
Early signs of autism?
7 month old boy does not make eye contact when held or being given bottle. Smiles and engages when playing on the floor. He never really coos, but did just start making some aahh noises. He rarely responds to name and doesn't care if I leave the room. Am I expecting too much too soon?? Docs say wait and see. Easier said than done.

Is it an early sign of autism if a 19 month-old baby moving constantly, and having difficutly sitting still?
My niece is constantly walking around the house and she does not sit down to play with her toys. She touchs her toys here and there but never sits stitl for 5 or 10 mins to play with them. Her mother is behind her all the time because she is afraid her baby will fall. This is because her baby has very low blood counts, if she falls she will get bruised right away or bleeding without stopping. I noticed my cousin and her baby does not communicate all. When her baby is watching her favourite cartoon Dora The Explores, she shows no exictement nor laughing, expressions. She has Dora doll to hold when she sleeps but she never say the word " Dora" . She only says " Mama" and few words. It is so hard for me to see if she is happy or sad. It seems to me my cousin does not know about her baby's behaviours. Should I mention to her what I observe her baby and let she seeks adivses from doctors. Her baby was just dianogsed with a rare disease, so should I wait to mention to her.
Is this behavior something to worry about? Early signs of autism?
My daughter is 11 months old and I don't know if it's just me being a crazy paranoid new mom or if something's off with her.She can sort of say dada & mama says it differently unclearly and not too often . She does babble a lot, smiles, is very friendly, makes eye contact. What seems strange is that she flaps her hands when she gets excited sometimes, she isn't really saying any words yet, and every now and then usually in the morning she'll get into a little daze for like 20 secs staring at something until I get her attention & she snaps out of it, and when I " cry" or act upset she doesn't show sympathy concern or get upset. Does this sound unusual, or is it just normal baby behavior?She does look where I'm pointing most of the time. She didn't used to. She also knows how to clap, and was waving bye bye for a couple weeks but now she won't do it. She still claps though, and is learning to blow kisses she's only done it 2x so far . I hope that's a good thing?
