Autism signs ??

The rough thing with diagnosing toddlers is this can definitely be normal toddler behavior. HOWEVER, you know your baby best! Do your research on how autism presents in toddlers and on coping mechanisms. The great thing about coping mechanisms is they're good for everyone! If you genuinely think he has autism, I would take him to the doctor. If he does have it he could get a speech pathologist and behavioral therapist to help him as he grows and to help you. Both of my younger brothers have autism, but they're both adults now, so I honestly can't remember how they presented when they were that small. 😅

My boy has autism and he was delayed, started walking at 1.5 yrs, talking at 2 yrs, he flaps his arms, screams (because he can’t communicate) lines things up, food aversions

2 is a tough age, regardless of autism. It can also be hard to tell what behaviour is autism and whats normal tantrums. And not every autistic child presents the same, my oldest is AuDHD and he was walking by 9 months, speaking in full sentences by 12 months, usually answers to his name, sometimes gives eye contact, but at 2 the biggest signs was that he played with his toys by lining them up in categories, no imaginative play until about 4/5 years old. Definitely worth asking you HV/GP or his nursery if he has one what they think and if you could get a referral.

Your child will talk when ready. Every child is different. Sometimes they just don't want to talk
