[quote=jjconcern]He sounds like an energetic 2 yr old that in my opinion isn't a candidate for any intervention at this point. As another reply stated the first signs to look for with autism are sociability, eye contact, ability to engage in imaginative play. It sounds like his placing the juice packets on his fingers is imaginative play or it could be a compulsive act which you should be able to decipher by asking him questions about it. Boys are usually more interested in large motor activities at that age and less apt to have much attention span. Time will tell if he has any ADHD tendencies but at this point he doesn't sound autistic at age 2. Blessings to you for your concerns in this age of having to question so many child behaviors in light of childhood disorders that have become so prevalent. [/quote]
