At this age it's very hard to tell, they're usually just exploring their bodies and how they can move! My little one rocks back and forth when she's sitting like all the time, but even though I've looked after a little boy who is autistic who does exactly that, I'm trying not to read too much into it just yet!! I'm giving it until she's at least one before get too worried :),

My baby girl does this but I don’t see any other signs to be worried

Looks like he’s trying to wave. My little girl done this for a while then started waving and it stopped x

My little one does this all the time. Especially when he is really happy or excited x

Thank you everyone for your replies. These at least ease my mind

baby:*does baby things* quirky mothers: "is my baby autistic?????" 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ waaaaaaaaaaaaay too young to be showing signs of autism. stop being so dramatic, it's just grabby hands 🙄

@Riley that's a bit unnecessary when she's already had people replying saying not to worry, and OP has also responded?? Sometimes people worry more than others.

@Alix you can't diagnose autism in babies. she's uneducated and being overdramatic. it's also just autism, she's acting like it's the end of the world if her kid is autistic. it's very offensive. at least your kid is alive, so what if they are autistic, they will still live.

@Riley I'm fully aware, and also responded as such previously, however it wasn't necessary to reply like that when she has already had people tell her not to worry, and she had also responded to those saying her mind had been eased. You can educate without being an ass.

@Riley how about you just keep your opinions to yourself and scroll past? I think everyone here is very well educated and logical but sometimes when it comes to the most precious thing in your life you worry about every single little thing regardless of what your logic tells you? It's comforting to know others have the same with their babies.

@Riley you're such a gobby cunt how about you scroll on if you don't like a post? Lord you're a pathetic troll this app ain't for you hun
