Me and DH are in the process of adopting the most delightful little boy. He has been home for three months now and things are going really well. He is a lovely little boy.
I have a few niggling concerns and wondered of this was "normal" toddler behaviour or something more concerning. For the last month or so he has started putting his hands over his ears when there is a loud noise or when he is excited. So etimes he may do it when there are lots of people about. I googled (which is always a great way to worry yourself sick) and found that this may be a sign of autism. He does t appear to have any of the other emotional, social and leaniing issues that are also linked to autism. He is very bright and is obsessed with trains and letters. He also has a strong memory and repearts phrases from adverts quite a lot.
Do you think I'm a but neurotic to worry?
