Hi,
I would not label such a kid as autistic but I would definitely recommend certain developmental scoring systems in such a kid for further evaluation, please.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
