[quote=Anonymous][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]

Ehhhhh. I’m not neuro typical nor is my kid. So we have fun together being our strange autistic selves. It’s not all flowers and rainbows of course (well anime and weighted blankets) but it’s okay for us [/quote]

For those of us with kids that need way more than anime and weighted blankets ( :roll: ), I will say it’s perfectly acceptable to worry about autism. Go educate yourself about the needs of the community that you profess to belong to.
