Not sure if i should be concerned????

So Ezra seems to be developing pretty normal and is doing well

he crawls, pulls to stand
he follows my point
patty-cake and peek a boo
i think he says whats that and kitty cat and up,up,up
lots of babbling different sounds
yells at me now (attitude lol)
follows some direction i think
*come here
*want a baba (wines)
*want a snack
*we are working on wheres daddy/brothers
Im pretty sure that he is pointing with intent (we took our tv off the wall the other day cause its broken and when he saw the empty wall he pointed at it and started yelling at me)
answers to his name most of the time (i think i am excessive and he will ignore me at times)
now where i am concerned is he will play with the wheels on his car toys not for a long period of time... i always time it and its alway under 5 mins... Hayden my autistic son would spin stuff for hours... now ezra will play with the cars like your supposed to and he is learning to say vroom
also when he is playing he tends to get very interested in small details like little stickers or decals and he will pick at the for a couple second but he does that with pretty much anything he picks up


i just dont know what to think of this i am literally driving my self mentally insane

ya i know that i should just concentrate on enjoying him but its very hard... i want him to have a good life and i just dont want his life to be stolen away from him :( i know its wasted energy but its not like a light switch for me :( i dont really have a lot of people to talk to either so i end up keeping all the worry in me and it just makes it worse.....

im happy that you know where im coming from trying its nice to be able to relate to others

I am sorry ur so anxious over this.  Try not to over analyze I know its hard!  I catch myself doing it with Lauren comparing her behaviors to my oldest son and thinking omg james dis this and that too is that a sign she will have adhd too!!!??!!(I know totally different conditions) but then I snap out of it!  What will be will be.  Don't waste time obsessing over it.  Enjoy your baby

Even if it wasn't "normal" the fact is that is who he is. You are so focused on this disease and does he have that you aren't enjoying who he is. Ezra is going to be Ezra whoever that is whether autistic or not. So enjoy who he is love every moment of it. Don't analyze his every move it isn't healthy for you or him

i know it just reminds me so much of Hayden when he was a baby like how he would grab a car and flip it over to spin the wheels... when Ezra does it it makes my heart sink :( i just hope he is okay

This all sounds really normal. If his attention span was really long i would be concerned
