I am a first time mom with an 8 month old

and before anyone jumps at me I know it's

too early to really know if Autism is on the

table but I cannot stop researching and

watching YouTube for things my baby does.

I really am losing my mind and it's making

me forget to just enjoy my baby as she is. I

really just direction. Please help.

Anyways. My main concern is that she has

intense eye contact - which I know is

typically the opposite but of course now I'm

second guessing and thinking this still isn't

normal. I mean this girl could win a staring

contest with a dead guy. She just STARES

at strangers (and me too). Hardly smiles.

But. She is smiley and giggly with me and

familiar faces on a regular basis. I just get

so many comments on her staring it's really

eating at me. She has big blue eyes too so

people always tell me she looks like a doll

-in a good way. Lol. She also is making

noises and babbling but it's not really..

constant? Hardly ever cries. She is the most

chill baby. If not autism, I just wonder what

else? Or just not worry at all. I know. 🙈

when should I not worry???
