Side glancing in 9 month baby please help.

I was wondering if you have a health visitor. Ours was very helpful when I had questions.

Hello she came round but was not helpful at all … she said he is too young ????

I am beside myself with worry 

I was told that by a speech therapist when my son was 3 and she advised me about how to help.

I would not worry at this stage if professionals say it is too early. When my son was young I did not know much about autism as we did not have the internet, but there were one or two things a little different.

However we had fun when he was younger and did things he enjoyed like playing in the park, blowing bubbles, which I would take out to enjoy from his pushchair.

Enjoy having fun and doing things he enjoys. My son is not high functioning, but he and me ( I am also autistic) can enjoy life, but not necessarily the same things that neurotypical people enjoy.

The important thing is that you are there for him and if you are still concerned as he gets older you can always ask for advice again or make enquiries with your GP. Schools and nurseries may also say if they notice your child needs more support.

He used to line up his sweets in patterns before eating them. He took a long while to talk clearly and did not find it easy joining in with others or initiating activities.
