Arm flapping?!

Autism I would be persistent and keep pushing my sister did with my niece and nephew my niece was 9 months old when she finally got a diagnosis she is now 4 nearly 5 non verbal only just going to nursery it is hereditary also so possible come from mum or dad use could be showing signs yourselves and haven’t realized maybe try get assessed for your self as well as your child phone doctors and ask for an appointment with a psychological practitioner I work with mental health autism Asperger’s and adhd the hv and doctors will try and brush it off because they don’t like to diagnose before 5yrs old but it can be done you just have to push for it also there are different ends to the spectrum hope this helps and hope you get answers

Thank you very much this is really helpful ☺️ x

Very welcome also the schools don’t always notice specially with girls & women are harder to diagnose as we are good at masking things I hope you get sorted love if you need anymore guidance and I can help in anyway just give me a direct message

Coming from someone who really struggled/still sometimes does with anxiety about my baby, please don’t stress yourself over it. Right now he’s just a baby and they go through all kinds of phases, try your best to push it to the back of your mind and just enjoy the stage of motherhood you’re at. I also used to think maybe it’s just mums instinct but I also fell into diagnosing my baby cos of TikTok!! I had to delete the app lol. If there’s any concerns when he’s older, cross that bridge when you get to it as even if there was, there’s nothing you can do about it currently. Plus you don’t need to add to the anxiety by thinking that you or your partner are also autistic, I’m not sure if that would help anything. I’m sorry if this doesn’t seem helpful but my anxiety really ruined so many months of motherhood for me and it still upsets me to think about!! Your boy is happy and healthy and you deserve to enjoy this time without being full of anxiety! 💕
