Autism Signs?!
Question: I have a 4 year old cousin named John. We have a big family and I have my own obligations so I don't get to see them alot, and the last time I saw John was when he was 2. I think he may be showing some signs of autism. But his mother is very young and likes to go out so I don't think she is catching or wanting to catch anything. He is barely talking he can say obvious things like "mom and dad" but beyond that it varies pretty quick. He doesn't like being around other children that much either, only our other little cousin that is around his age. Are those signs of autism? What are some other signs? What kind of Doctor should I suggest that he see?
