A member asked:
9 month old baby is on time with milestones but scared of loud noises he doesnt recognise and is also afraid of strangers. does he sound autistic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stranger anxiety: At age 9 months, a baby is supposed to have stranger anxiety. It is normal for babies, toddlers, and other young children to be scared of loud noises. Even adults are scared of loud noises that are unfamiliar. Such reactions are ingrained into the human brain by nature.
