After you clean his hand will he go back to eating? Also agree with above
It's a big leap to jump to autism here. Please try to relax!
What are the other signs? Some thing in isolation are just developmental but if together may raise a referral pathway Does he have anyone around him that doesn’t like mess? What’s he like either messy play? Will be tolerate paint for example x
It's anything. This morning was his normal breakfast and he won't go back to it. I do everything I can to make sure he has loaaaaads of variety of food but is becoming very picky. Other signs are sleep problems, head butting , pulling hair, major tantrums , very very hyperactive, staring into space. He started to say some words but has stopped saying them now
Very normal, they’re still exploring and experimenting with the world. Fussy phases with food particularly are common in toddlers. Has he been baby led weaned from the start or is eating with hands a new concept to him? Is the food new foods or ‘safe’ foods? Exposure over time will help. Lots of ‘autistic signs’ are very common traits in such young toddlers which is why nobody will look at diagnosing such a young child x
