Autism: I would like your opinion, if my grandson is autistic or not?
My grandson will be 13 months old next week. My daughter and I are worried, because he hasn’t done everything on this list: The 2 I’m concerned about are,
* Says no single words (”mama” or “dada”)
* Does not learn to use gestures, such as waving or shaking head
Developmental Health Watch
Alert your child’s doctor or nurse if your child displays any of the following signs of possible developmental delay for this age range.
* Does not crawl
* Drags one side of body while crawling (for over one month)
* Cannot stand when supported
* Does not search for objects that are hidden while he or she watches
* Does not point to objects or pictures
* Experiences a dramatic loss of skills he or she once had

Please look at these videos and tell me if he looks autistic? Why or why not?

thank you for looking at Alex
He is as far from autistic as he could ever be. He engages with great eye contact and imitates verbalizations, and laughs appropriately.
As far as the speech development goes, he is still within normal limits for his age. Try having him imitate simple words rather than nonsense utterances. Start with easy stuff, like “ball”, “bye-bye”, “up”, etc.
FYI, even if he had speech delay (which he doesn’t appear to show), it wouldn’t necessarily mean he’s autistic. Autistic kids develop normally until they are about 2, at which time they lose the language function they already have.
Speech delay can be due to many other reasons; not all kids with speech delay are autistic.
