Great advice. Your story is very similar to mine. The family doctor at the time was no help. He was showing clear signs at age 2, and she told us just to wait and see if it gets worse! You really have to go to someone who is trained to recognize autism. It was the pediatric dentist saying something at age 4 that made us realize we need to get him checked out (even thought my mother-in-law had been mentioning the lack of eye contact for some time), and he gave the exact same advice you did. Go to someone who knows autism. We went to a development psychologist and that was when we both realized. My son is now in a PAC (preschool autism class) and getting the help he needs, and we are learning a lot too.
