Reacting to name. I do? is this autism?

Hello, By around 5–7 months, many babies start turning to their name, but this skill can be inconsistent. It’s normal for babies to sometimes miss responding due to: Distraction Sleepiness or teething Mild illness Temporary variability in attention Not responding for 2–3 days alone is not a sign of autism. Autism is diagnosed based on persistent patterns over time — including poor eye contact, lack of social smiling, lack of babbling, limited interest in people, and repetitive behaviors. At 6 months, occasional non-responsiveness is common and usually not a cause for concern. watch for other age-appropriate behaviors: Smiling socially Eye contact Responds to voice or music Babbles or coos Follows objects or faces visually Reacts to familiar caregivers

Continue engaging the baby with: Talking, singing, eye contact, Calling name in different tones/environments Track progress over the next few weeks. If baby consistently: Doesn’t respond to name by 9 months or Shows poor eye contact, no babbling, or lack of interest in people - consider early evaluation.

Red flags: If lack of response persists beyond 8–9 months Or other developmental delays appear
