An observation of our 17 month old neice

[Guest guest]

I visited my brothers family today. His daughter is 17 mos. old

and has just started to walk.

She did experience 3 seizures since her flu vaccination in June. Mom

is concerned that she may be on the spectrum. Here are some possible

red flags that I notice during my visit....she wobbles and falls often

while walking, sticks her fingers down throat unti she gags, when

trying to talk it sounds like baby babbling (no real words), Does try

to say daddy (daeee), while in high chair she screams a lot. Mom says

at night that does some weird movements while sleeping. She

describe the movements as a backwards crawl rolling from neck to

waist. She also grinds her teeth while sleeping.

One positive note is she seems pretty happy which is not common for

most toddlers on the spectum. She also seems to eat just about

anything.

Are any of these alarming for a toddler? Any imput would be

appreciated. Sincerly, 's Aunty Laurie
