Thank you so much for your answer. I took her to a neurologist but he
told me it was to early to diagnose autism. I am going to try another
Doctor.

Thanks,

Milly

Yes, I believe they are possibly signs of
autism.I would first bring the concerns to your pediatrician. If
he can't
provide a satisfactory explanation to this strange behavior,  I would
schedule an appointment with an autism specialist.(I believe I would
want to
take the baby to a specialist, regardless.) I have found that
pediatricians
are ill-equipped to diagnose autism in its earliest stages.

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
