How do i know its not AUTISM

I have a 3 year old son, i took him to the doctor on sat they told me he needs to go to speech therapy, for lack of vocabulary. They want to rule out Autism. I have been driving myself crazy with how to tell the difference, he talks alot just not sentences.Hi  Mommy , Daddy Bye, he know shapes, dances, counts to 10 just not clear, he says misc words, no other problems, could this just be a speech delay or is it more serious, please help... He goes to speech therapy tomorrow,... Anyone have any advice

Communication issues are one component of disorders on the autism spectrum. The fundamental problem in autistic disorders is a serious difficulty in social interaction. So speech/language issues themselves are not indicative of autistic disorders.
