Hello how would I know if my 7 months old is autistic?
She don’t like eye contact
She watches the same thing everyday on repeat she don’t like anything else
She is tensing her body when she is exited or angry
She doesn’t respond to her name aswell.
Any opinion?

I'd say far too young to notice anything really. Our little ones are just starting to explore and take in their surroundings . It's a huge new world to them and everyday they learn they can do something new. Give her time to become a little person with a personality but also enjoy the stage where she's learning and soaking up the world around her. Don't be too quick to jump on the medical train :) not everything is a sign of something wrong

Hello my daughter is like that before when she have the same age, you can talk with doctor but they going to say “is earlier to know”, is look normal atitude from this age don’t worry

My first born has always tensed her body, put her fists / fingers in her mouth and bites/shakes whenever she’s excited. Have sought advise and told its very normal xxx she’s 3 now still does it now and again but much less frequent

That can all be normal at that age 😊

Thank you everyone 🥹❤️ I will try to stop
Thinking about it and see in the future❤️ hope you are all well.😊

I would probably keep screens away as much as you can. I totally understand when you need to get something done it's so easy to put them in front of the TV but it may encourage her to look at you and interact etc if she doesn't have that option. Otherwise all pretty normal for a 7 month old :D

put it really well but to also add, autism doesnt mean the end of the world/ a huge problem if it did arise. They will be who they will be :)
