does my son hav autism

Hi all im new here ive just signed up.iv neen worrying myself the last week that my 19month old could be showing signs of autism?iv googled his symptoms which i know prob isnt agood idea an autusm comes up no im stressed out.hes my only child so i dont know if this is normal for a 19month old as i hav no others to compare him to.hes a very strong willed little character an very cheeky.he makes good eye contact likes playing hide an seek.he loves seeing other children  an smiles an runs up to them.he pushes his cars around the floor he used to just spin the wheels but he now plays properly with them.he still does like spinning things though.he also spins in circles looking to the side.he doesnt do it for long hel ususlly lose his balance fall over them stop doing it.he likes music an has started dancing more sometimes hel dance then spin.he doesnt point to things he wants yet but he puts his arms up for me to pick him up an likes being cuddled.he can seem ignorant tho sometimes and seem to ignore u  if hes watching baby tv.he wont use his cup yet he throws it on the floor.he counts to 6 and says some other words.hes bubbles are on the kitchen side an hel go out an say bubbles whilst looking at them.he has a bad  temper  he has alot of tantrums especially when told no.if i stick my tongue out hel copy and make noises im making but he wont touches his nose or things if i say touch ur nose.o am prob being over worried but the spinning thing has got me worried.my h v is coming thits as i called her as he hasnt had a che k in along time  so i called her  for a hat about his tantrums an il mention the spinning to her thanks for listening an any comments would b great thanks x
