So my 2 year old has some strange behavior. He's a smart kid but at times he just seems weird. He screams out of the blue for no reason he does not make eye contact when you talk to him and hits himself all the time. More than usual. I read up on autism but I don't think he has that. Could it be something else or is that just normal 2 year old behavior?
it also could be a sign of tourettes... torrets? Sorry I'm not that great with spelling. But not all kids just yell. it could also be a tick. I would definitely get it checked out.
@myjulyprincesseli, @jennatess @teenmom143 @chhaya thanks ladies I will definitely get his doctor to check him out.
my brother in law was the same when he was 3 and he got sent to a specialist and he did have autism . yours might not. but it's good to get him checked out just incase
The no eye contact is the only thing that would concern me. The screaming and hitting could be him just being a toddler, but the zero eye contact could be a sign of something. Maybe not autism, but maybe bad eye sight or another developmental issue. I wouldn't worry, but just bring it up with his doctor. Make sure they listen to you though. When we brought my step brother in, my stepmom just knewwww he was autistic and it took almost a year for them to finally start testing. He was four and hardly talking..obviously something was up.
he could have high functioning autism. which is where they are usually really good, but have episodes like that
just warning you, they may want to do an MRI on his brain, but its nothing to be afraid about. its all proceedure.
