Scared of Autism

i just have a couple of comments about the not being cuddly thing. hannah also was not a cuddly baby, i think as a result of spending so much time in our arms. as a matter of fact in order to console her as an infant, i would hold her facing outward instead of snuggling close. she is and always was an extremely independent girl. when she began to crawl (at eight months, not too late, but i should preface that with she only began to sit up on her own a few days prior) and later walk, she slowly became more cuddly — the more independent she could be. she is just over 3 now, and i am certain that we have cuddled, and i have held/ consoled her more in the past 18 months than in her first 18 months.

Wonderful to hear! I cuddled a little girl in the gym day care today and it was like a dream. Iam looking forward to when my little Sander decides he likes that.

Thanks for giving me hope!
