Autism is charaterized by deficits in language and social interaction as well as the presence of repetitive behavior. Therefore, it is difficult to identify this disorder until more social behavior and language are expected. However, please share your concerns about your son's interest in social interaction with your pediatrician, and encourage social interaction as much as you can. It is not uncommon for children at 7 months of age to wake frequently at night. Your pediatrician should be able to give recommendations to improve his sleep. Typically, it is helpful to (a) establish a clear bedtime routine, (b) put your baby to bed when he is tired but awake so that he can learn to put himself to sleep, (c) minimize interaction when your son wakes at night to encourage him to put himself back to sleep. Parents who adhere strictly to recommended sleep strategies typically see major improvements within 1 week.
