[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I wouldn't worry.  There is little to nothing you can do at that age other than providing a comforting, nurturing environment (which you are doing).  I would worry more if your child is not smiling regularly.  Does your child laugh?  Does he remember you or notice when you leave the room?  I repeat the earlier advice of looking at a milestone chart and seeing if he's dropping off.

[b]Even if your child were to have autism, it would not matter.  You will still love them either way.  Frankly I'm surprised that no one with a special needs child has flamed you for being so worried about it.  It wouldn't be the end of the world either way.[/b]

Oh please! Now parents don't have the right to be worried about their kids because it is politically incorrect? I am sure the parents of special needs children do love them very much like any other parent, but think they also would have preferred their kids were neurotypical. [/quote]

Indeed. Of course it matters whether your child has a disability or not. It doesn't matter for how much you love them, but it matters for what your daily life looks like.[/quote]
