Does my son have autism?
Hi moms!
I hope you're having a good weekend.
So, I have 4yo boy who is obsessed with Lightning Mcqueen and trains(especially railroad crossing which I think is funny and weird obsession).
He goes to the speech therapy, but his teacher from his preK says he has no issues there. He listens, he plays with friends, but not really interested in academics such as drawing and writing letters practice haha
Um, to me, he's typical 4yo boy, but my husband wonders if he has autism or maybe in gray zone.
My son loves pretending being a race car and always runs down to the straight sidewalk beside the parking lot at school, which I have never seen any kids doing that.
He responds my questions and we can talk about stuff, but, I'm not sure if he can have decent conversations with kids.
Does this sound like normal 4yo kid? What do you think?

Sounds very normal to me. He just knows what he likes and he’s very imaginative. :)
Sounds completely normal
As an autistic adult to 3 autistic children, this behavior sounds completely normal! Now, if he was lining his favorite toys up all day everyday and not playing with them how they’re supposed to be played with, that would be totally different. But this sounds totally normal!

Speech
How many words does your 18mo have? We've got about 6/7 and have been told by nursery and the health visitor thats the lower end/slightly behind. She understands very well, but rarely uses the words she knows and was a late babbler.
Just wondering if anyone else had been through the same with any advice to help her speech?

Dummies?!
Looking for some advice, my nearly 5 week old baby will suck on a dummy for around 1-2 mins then spits it out and start fussing again that he wants it, sometimes he will even wake up from a nap for it. This will continue until he falls into a deep sleep and eventually when the dummy falls out he won’t wake back up . He will also settle without a dummy so does he maybe just not want it or are the dummies too big for his mouth I’m not sure 😩 we have tried the mam newborn orthodontic ones and the tommee tippee 0-2 month (the teat on these are a lot bigger). He is also formula fed, has anyone else been through this if so all advice welcome 🙏🏻
