Is my baby Autistic?

So first off …I don’t want to sound like one of those parents diagnosing my baby really early on with a million things !!
But I’ve had a gut feeling I’ve brushed off for a while now because she’s literally only 6 months and my first child so..

But recently so many things have been making those gut feelings hard to ignore
My dads autistic I believe im autistic and some of my siblings are autistic 😫
I’ve gotten this far in life fine obviously I don’t go round going on one about it because what’s the point ..I cope !

But my 6 month old daughter is NOT babbling
She’ll sit there and scream high pitched for AGES not crying I mean just screams and it’ll go one for ages no breaks ..
She has laughed like 5 times? That’s it !!
And when I tell you we’ve tried everything to make her laugh ..

She has a massive reaction to miss
Rachel and I mean massive —-everyone always finds it hilarious and strange because of how excited she gets she starts doing a weird thing with her hands bouncing and opening her mouth really wide making a weird sound ..at first it was funny but now i hardly let her watch it because I was scared it was me letting her watch telly that’s rotted her brain but I’ve hardly allowed it at all?!
There’s been moments obviously I’m a stay at home mum with no family close by and my partner works 6 days a week!!
So to keep on top of everything I’ve let her watch it for 30 minutes here and there to keep her occupied …

But anyway
She’s never like that with anyone even me and her dad! It did actually upset me for a while because I felt like she didn’t love me …


She’s also been doing this crab pinch motion with both her hands at the same time whilst clapping her feet together !! it’s VERY much like stimming and she does this alll the time !!! This is the major thing my mum noticed being a bit strange …I just assumed it was normal but a few people have said it was strange

I’ve kept my feelings to myself for ages because I often think I’m just an over thinker but
Today my mum who’s always been one of those who act like autism isn’t a thing lol

Came out and outright said …”I’ve been thinking for a while ..but didn’t want to worry you but i think she might be autistic…”


What do you guys think I should do..do I wait or do I go see a gp I don’t wanna embarrass myself trying to diagnose a BABY!! But the more I think about it the more my stomach tells me somethings not right and it’s harder to get diagnosed the older you get!
