Is it autism
My son is 2 years and 6 months old he used to speak only some little words and can't be built in the sentence of three to four words too but he understands us and used to make eye contact and smile to others. When we call him with his name he used to answer sometimes and sometimes not. And he used to sing some rhymes and numbers with his little words, he used wishes and smiles to all his known neighbors and family members . He is not always responding and answering when we called him and asked something he already knew

It doesn't seem like autism. Not always responding doesn't mean 'not responding'. Autistic children have fixed interests, repetitive behaviour, repeating speech of others, not sharing things
Next Steps
Keep engaging with him, have conversation with him, read stories
