Autistic child?

2021-04-16 13:57:00
My son one year and 1 month old doesn't respond to name yet. he walks well babbles a lot, also watch tv with his fav songs, goes to everyone who ask him to pick up. sleep well eats well. Also laughs on his favourite cartoons. take my hand out of computer and shows sign to pick him up. but as he doesn't respond to his name. I am worried since I have developed severe preeclampsia in 34 weeks. but he was born through c section on 38 weeks. does he is autistic?

Reduce screen time to zero. Engage him more with your activities physically. Talk to him more. Make eye contact. Reassess at 1.5 years. Till 1.5 yrs you can wait for improvement.
