Please go through http://www.firstsigns.org/downloads/m-chat.PDF & fill the M-chat questionnaire.
If your son fails more than 3 items total or 2 critical items,he should be referred for diagnostic evaluation by a specialist trained to evaluate ASD (autistic spectrum disorders) in very young children.
Hope this information is useful to you.
