I'v been so happy and fulfilled for such a long time everything was going perfectly. For as long as I can remember my baby always responds to her name even when she couldn't walk and our favorite communication was looking into each other's eyes and smiling.. she was singing to her cartoons as early as I could remember and i remember her favorite sound was "Roar" Bebe fin dinosaur and once she said "take" while giving me some things

I started preparing for an exam 6 months ago so I was alone with her and I just put on cocomelon for her for hours and focus on my reading and classes on Saturdays. Because she often mimic everything I do like brushing my teeth, having my bath, trying to use our keys to open doors , using my phone to make calls blabbing) and also early on identifying head shoulder knees and toes songs.. plus knocking on the door when I don't let her see what I'm doing.

My nightmare started after my exams and I realized it was getting difficult to respond to her name. She doesn't smile so easily again. And her only word were "No" which she says rarely I even started doubting i heard her say "take" but she has done it thrice again in two months .. it's just me and my baby and i know i don't talk much. I still made the mistake of putting her in a crèche were she's the oldest. I'v started researching what could be wrong and I'm seeing autism etc. The first peadiatrician I met say it's till 3 before a proper diagnosis can be given.. the second peadiatrician assessed her and said the signs are not encouraging but she doesn't want to give a diagnosis before 3.. my family members and husband are not worried but I'm a mother and I'm really worried. I'v cried each night as this is my rainbow baby. I'v tried to teach and talk and she ignores me a lot.
