Autism in 2 year old?

Question

Is it possible for signs of autism to come out of nowhere? My daughter hasn’t shown any signs of autism until a few months ago. She’ll be 2 in March

Answer

It's too early to diagnose at that age. Most wont give an official diagnosis until at least the age of 7. At 2, they are still learning and delevoping so rapidly that it's just too soon to tell. However if your worried, mention it to the pediatrician. I just wanted to give you a heads up that there isnt much they do at this age. Also, there are mutliple other things it could be, that have similar symptoms or behaviors as autisim (Trauma, ADHD, anxiety, etc) list goes on. I was super worried about my daughter when she was 3 because she all of a sudden started needing things to be in a specific order, was slower in speech development and not doing well with the alphabet. I was terrified. She is now 7, super outgoing and excelling in school and reading like crazy. I hope that gives you some hope that just becuase you see some odd behavior in your toddler, doesnt mean something is wrong.
