Finger Crossing in 3.5 y/o Boy

[Anonymous]

I just noticed my son crossing his fingers tonight. No other signs of autism, so I’m not sure if I need to dismiss this or schedule an appointment. Any thoughts or experience with this ?

Am I missing something, is there a problem with crossing fingers?

I googled and saw it as a sign of autism

As with causes of autism, try to lay off the google. If you have overall concerns about your kid, get him/her assessed.

PS no judgment, I am also terrified of autism and bad about googling. But my terror is unfair and unfounded and my googling is unhelpful. It’s your job as a parent to manage your anxiety about this.

I actually just noticed my 3 year old doing this this morning. But i think it's because she is working on her grasp at school and just realized she could move her fingers like that. Same way she touched her toes a half dozen times when she realized she could do it standing up. Kids are learning about their bodies and how they work. I wouldn't give it much thought but if it continues mention it to your ped
