Difficult to determine from just this description. He should be due for his 4 month well child check at which time the Dr will fully examine him includig his neurological/developemental status. Make sure you bring your concerns to their attention so they are aware.

A follow up with your Pediatrician is recommended at 4 months. Does he respond to your voice and sounds? If not, inquire about a hearing test. Reading to your child will help to develop verbal skills during infancy.

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?

5 month old baby only coos/babbles when he is upset. He is usually quiet & observent. He plays along with us & smiles & laughs. I'm worried that his quietness could be a sign of autism?
