Mobility Delay or Loss
Babies who are showing signs of autism often exhibit a delay in their motor skills. They may not hitch on their tummies, crawl or walk when most other babies do. Or they may develop these skills but lose them as they grow older.
When held with their feet on the floor between the ages of six and one year, an autistic infant may not push down or bear weight and can't or won't stand even if supported.1‘Autism: Early Signs in Infants and Toddlers.’ Autism Science Foundation. autismsciencefoundation.org/what-is-autism/early-signs-of-autism/resources-for-recognizing-signs
