My 6 1/2 month old baby girl with PWS(UPD) is arching her back a lot.
She only does this when she is awake. When she is lying on bed she
pulls her head backwards and her eyes backwards as she is trying to
look at something even do there is nothing to look at(for no reason)
and she will stay in that position for hours. I have to wait till she
falls asleep to feed her so she can relax otherwise she will arch her
back.
She is not interested in her sorroundings or faces. She can look for
hours at her mobile on her crib and she can track objects or toys but
if I look at her eyes she will try to avoid me by turning her head or
her eyes. She does not smile socially yet.
She was a 32 week gestational age premiee baby.

I was wondering if these are signs of autism.

Thanks,

Milagros
