The important thing to remember with all things, is early intervention is the key. It may seem silly or not worth chasing up just yet but don't sit on it for too long if it continues to nag at you .
I still stand by the fact that I knew there was something not right with ds2 when I was pregnant with him. An after he was born my suspicion just grew and grew. I spoke I my MCHN at 18m and he was referred. He is on the autism spectrum and presents like he has aspergers. He started early intervention at 2 years old (speech and ot and later psych) am most people would not see it now unless I tell them the things to look for- he is verbally repetitive in his routines etc. I am so happy I followed my gut as I am sure he would not be as great as he is now without it.
My three Sons: So good to hear someone else say they knew when pregnant. My story's a bit different as it was a physical defect rather than an intellectual one but I knew during my pregnancy with DS that he wasn't right. So much so that I had started to prepare for having a stillbirth or losing him early on. When he was diagnosed with a heart defect I don't think I was super surprised. Devastated but not surprised.
My friend felt something wasn't right when she was pregnant and her bub was born with a brain issue.
Tantrums and the bottle lid thing don't sound like anything to worry about to me, but I am sure there is a variety of other things that are making you wonder. I would just keep an eye on it and mention it to someone as needed.
BTW, my 14 month old is having some massive tantrums lately.
