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?

Great grandma kissed my babies face

My girl is 5 weeks, we spent over 2 weeks in the NICU and I am very germ conscious because of everything, she had sepsis and needed resuscitation at birth so I’m very overprotective. We took my girl to see her great grandma and she kissed her on the face, like on the lips, I am now absolutely freaking out that my daughter will now get seriously ill, we’ve seen several members of the family and this hasn’t happened yet, but now she’s been kissed and I haven’t even kissed her face because of the germs. Its my partners grandma so I didn’t feel like I could say anything at the time, which I now regret but it was all so fast and made me so uncomfortable. I am like very stressed now, any advise on how to stop it happening again and anything that can be said that will stop me having a panic attack over the next few days worrying she will get sick?!

Asking grandparents to watch baby overnight

So I already feel guilty for even asking my MIL to have my baby (15months) overnight but I am at my breaking point, I am so exhausted as he wakes up every morning between 4.30am-5am and won’t go back to sleep until 9am and then he will have an hour before he’s up for the day. I’m home alone with him 90% of the time. I just need one night to catch up on sleep and to try and few human again but the thought of leaving him overnight is giving me some anxiety and the guilt of even asking someone to watch him is eating my alive. Any advice?

Do you hit your husband?

Like a smack on the back of his head or back
Or straight up hitting him and beating on him
Or not at all

Recommendations!

Hi! So this is my 18 month old’s hair. It’s often frizzy and I honestly don’t know what products to get or how to encourage those natural curls. My hair is completely straight so I haven’t got a clue. Please help. Her hair isn’t knotty at all though surprisingly

Sleep!!

Does any of your partners think its OK to sleep for 16 hours a day when you have a 6month old regardless of how strenuous their work week is? My partner went to bed at 9 last night with me and the baby and has still not even attempted to get out of bed it's now 10 to 1 in the afternoon! I'm livid and he wonders why I'm always mardy with him! What's your opinions on this....??

Crawling

Hello 👋🏻 My baby is 6 months and 1 week old and basically started crawling overnight. It started two nights ago while he was on my bed and he’s now full on crawling and FAST. It’s like a little army crawl, but he definitely gets from point A to B. He’s already getting into everything but what should I expect? I know I need to baby proof but I thought I would have more time😩 Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
