I’m a bit concerned about my nephew. He is like 27 months now lol his 2nd birthday was in January.
He runs around like crazy, eloping a lot and won’t sit still like hardly ever. Maybe at home in his safe place but i really don’t think he chills much. He won’t make eye contact with anyone he will wiggle till he’s put down. He just won’t look.
I personally have an autistic son and I know the spectrum is so wide and no 2 children are alike, but I’m concerned about him. For sure adhd, but I really don’t want to bring it up to my brother because he will probably be offended.
My nephew isn’t talking either he more hand leads or brings what he wants.
What can I do without stepping on toes? I don’t want to step out of my lane or cause any issues?
I’m posting in this group because I feel like other autism moms can relate with the adhd aspect of things.

I would just call my brother up and ask him if they ever considered getting him evaluated to see if he's neurodivergent. You don't necessarily have to name ADHD specifically because he could be AuDHD. Just approach it as a concerned person and not a "I have an autistic kid so I know everything" person.
