What did the specialist said on the 1st visit?

Also, don't be too worried. Cause at 20 month, detection of ASD is usually not conclusive unless it is very severe case. Usually, it will be accurately diagnosed for kids above 5 years old. Then again, if really found out that she is having ASD symptoms, you need to start training her. The specialist should be able to advise.

Another note is to always seek for second opinion. Find another doctor or specialist and have them look at her as well.

The reason why after 5 years old because at 1-2 years old, symptoms of autism might actually just because the baby is still a baby. Yes, there are signs.

People with high-functioning autism may show behaviours and signs similar to those seen with other types of autism:

    Delay in motor skills
    Lack of skill in interacting with others
    Little understanding of the abstract uses of language, such as humour or give-and-take in a conversation
    Obsessive interest in specific items or information
    Strong reactions to textures, smells, sounds, sights, or other stimuli that others might not even notice, such as a flickering light

Unlike people with other forms of autism, people with high-functioning autism or Asperger's syndrome want to be involved with others. They simply don't know how to go about it. They may not be able to understand others' emotions. They may not read facial expressions or body language well. As a result, they may be teased and often feel like social outcasts. The unwanted social isolation can lead to anxiety and depression.

He loves to take his toy cars to spin the wheels.
