Biting could it be autism

Does she have a pediatrician? Because you should tell them about it. I can't tell for sure since I never shown that kind of behavior younger other than start speaking much later than the other kids or show signs like not following toys with the eyes.. I wish you good luck about that.
@Maude hi Maude thank you for commenting on my post yes she does have one but she keeps dismissing us saying children’s don’t show signs before 2-3 years old however my little brother did younger than that so not sure if we should see someone for second opinion
Biting is developmentally appropriate for a 1 year old.. and when you say one is she 12-16 months or closer to 24 months? There are major differences developmentally between those age gaps. The first 2 years of a babies life they change sooo much.. but I wouldn’t be quick to label your baby just yet.. is she just biting you? Then I’d think it’s just teething.. but if she constantly needs something in her mouth and continues to bite on everything (her clothing, a chair, toys, random people) then I’d say she might have some sort of oral fixation.. we are dealing with something similar with a 1 year old at my center. But this particular child has like 4 teeth so while yes he’s teething bad he just doesn’t know how to communicate that he’s in pain..
@Celecia shes 12 months and bites me and everything else
Biting is not a sign of autism. My son never bit anyone. It’s developmentally appropriate at this age to bite you just have to set stronger boundaries when she does it. Are there other things that she is doing that makes you think autism because biting isn’t it. Is she teething?
My pleasure, yes, you should always ask a second opinion in case they're willing to do the tests in someone close have it. They did for me at 6 months and 2 years old because we have severe cases in the close family
She’s also excessively biting
