Autism Spectrum: Autism Spectrum Disorder -ASD is a complicated diagnosis. The signs you are describing can be a part of ASD. Here is a website that is very helpful, The Thinking Person's Guide to Autism www.thinkingautismguide.com Discuss your concerns with your child's pediatrician. The doctor can do some developmental screening in the office and might refer you for additional testing.
