My 12 month old son doesn't always respond to his name. he is able to say about 2 words & repeat after me. he claps, waves, points in books. can this indicate autism?

The spectrum of disorders that comprises Autism requires a complete evaluation and overall look at development including behavioral presentations, language and more. A very good place to start is with your pediatrician. He or she knows your child well, and can help you with diagnosis. If necessary they will ask for assistance, example consultation of a pediatric neurologist. Good luck
