    I have to say I'm not overly concerned, as in every other way he is a perfectly normal happy boy. But I am just curious if other toddlers have any of these traits... and if I find that they do not, then I will probably start to be a little concerned.

    I have looked at the diagnosis lists for Autism, and the majority of the categories he doesn't fit into, because he WILL point at objects, or look at them when we point. He doesnt avoid eye contact, and he loves cuddles, and tickles and rough play and laughing, he loves interacting and playing with us too.
    The only ones he seems to fit into are the ones where he doesnt handle a change to routine, and having trouble expressing himself. - but maybe that is just language based, because he is good at communicating through pointing and showing me what he wants.
