My 4 month old baby boy used to coo & babble when he was 2 months old. He is quieter now & occasionally makes raspberry noises. He smiles & laughs. He also has good eye contact & follows objects. He loves playing toys but no noise. Is this normal?

My 10 month old babbles, waves & claps. Her eye contact is really good & good hearing. However she usually doesnt respond to her name, very rarely she responds by waving back at us. Could this be autism related?
