Are these signs early autism in babies ?

Our first sign with my daughter was that she lost language around 9-10 months old. She's almost four now and still doesn't respond to her name probably 80% of the time.
@Tosha my daughter isn’t cooing or babbling anymore for almost 2 weeks just whining now …. It worries me
@Tosha does she speak ? It would break my heart to never being able to hear her sweet voice :(
@Robyn I just said her name like 15 times in a row and she didn’t react seems to be in her bubble
Too young to tell
@Baled Potato would you say the fact that she stopped cooing and babbling is concerning cause she just whines all day instead or is it normal for babies to stop for a bit and go back to it ?
It’s completely normal. My son is ASD 3 and he stopped then started again.
@Baled Potato thank you I appreciate you taking the time to answer ! If we’re still worried around what age can we do testing ? 1-2 years old ?
18-34 months is around the time the process can start.
@Baled Potato okay thank you!
Not a problem mama.
She's doing a lot of repeating things (like Bluey episodes 😅), but doesn't fully talk yet. She's in speech therapy and has a communication device though! Also, I don't know where you're located, but you certainly don't need to wait until she's older to get help if you're concerned. My daughter enrolled in county services when she was just over a year and began receiving speech, special instruction, and occupational therapy services while we waited to get private services started. Getting her evaluated for whatever supports she might need early is a great way to start the ball rolling. 😊
@Sheena thank you Sheena ! Will pay attention to these :)
You're welcome
Personally I would say you won’t know until she’s 2/3 years old. Feet rubbing against eachother can be a stim but not necessarily an autistic one. Most babies do it.
