Hi doctor, my nephew is 22 months old, and he did not speak or make eye contact, he did not point on anything, goes to strangers very easily, do not recognize her mother, he has stopped doing things which he used to make earlier, plays in alone with his shadow but do not play with toys, watches t. V a lot, do not ask for anything, donot resist hugs and kisses. We are really worried, coz few of the signs matches with autism, please guide us what should we do? are these a symptom of an autistic child?

Kindly consult a developmental pediatrician as soon as possible. It is not possible to give a proper diagnosis unless the child has been thoroughly evaluated. Please do not waste time and consult a doctor immediately. What ever the problem may be, it can be taken care of, only if the diagnosis is right.
