Are Difficulty Communication, Difficulty Making Eye Contact And Tremors In Hand Symptoms Of Autism?

These can be early signs of autism
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for asking on this platform
I completely understand your concern.
It has been seen that perinatal asphyxia (decrease oxygen supply to the brain whether it is intrauterine,during delivery or after that)is related to autism.
It is very difficult to diagnose perinatal asphyxia unless it is too severe to produce symptoms like respiratory distress,abnormal movement,lethargy or irritability.
I appreciate your observation regarding the behavior of baby.Actually parents are the best observer.
Although it would be too early to label her as a case of autism but I can't ignore the signs and symptoms you have described.
These are the warning signs of autism.
I would suggest you to make short video clippings,so that you can convince your pediatrician.
Early detection and management (behavioral therapy of baby and parental learning skill) will help in better outcome.
I would like to get her evaluated by a child psychologist with all the evidences for diagnosis and management accordingly.
Wishing for your baby's good health.
Regards
