Supermarkets

Hi all, so my 3 month old is generally very chilled out, until we go to a supermarket and she hates it, gets really worked up and upset. My mum and a couple of friends of mentioned to have said it’s an autism trait and to keep my eye on it. Obviously I just want what’s best for her and if she is showing signs of this, help her in the best way possible. Apart from the supermarket issues she’s meeting all other milestones but just wondering if others have this?

Could be the lighting. It's awful. I hate fluorescent lights, my son was the same, were now both diagnosed with autism 😅 not saying she defo has it. But generally fluorescent lights affect a lot of people with asd! Xx

3 months is far too early to pick up signs for autism. It’s probably just very overstimulating, or unsettling being in a different environment, is she in a pushchair, or on you? Can try baby wearing if that helps for comfort.

Oh my gosh, she’s 3 months. People don’t need to be mentioning ASC at this point. Babies get overwhelmed and overstimulated very easily. As she gets older I’m sure she’ll get more used to situations like that.

Try baby wearing her, she’s 3 months old it could be 28362 things and autism is the bottom of the list x

Try going during her naps so leave before she naps and hopefully she might sleep while you shop

My son is 4 months and was the same I’ve found if I turn the carry cot part of his pushchair into the seat and lower the hood so he can be nosey he now loves it also talking to him and making him laugh on the way round, what also worked is light up Halloween or Xmas toys I’d pick one up off the shelves and put it in front of him he’d be so focused on that he would calm right down then I’d always end up buying it because I didn’t have the heart to take it away from him lol
