Hi doctors, My baby is 8  Months old, for the past 1 months we are seeing, she is flapping (hands up and down legs up and down movement) pulling her hairs, spouting (eyes nose mouth together) im worried that she might have autism. But she is responding to her name, making eye contact, social smile, strangers anxiety, separation anxiety is there . Please clear my doubts. I will be expecting your valuable answers. Thank you so much
