Hi cassie,

I think with some kids, it is a natural phase to only want to be held by their parents. I have 10 month old boy/girl twins and from 4-6 months I was the only one they would go to, they even screamed when their poor dad tried to take care of them. When children start to recognize who is around them, and especially when they start having a routine, when anything out of the 'norm' occurs, it seems to be a natural reaction for them to freak out or cry.At least that is how it has been for my twins.

As for autism testing, when I took my twins in for their 9 month checkup, I had to fill out a survey for each of them. The survey had various questions, when I asked about it they told me that the survey was to start checking for early signs of autism. So at your daughter's 6 month check up I would ask your doctor about it.

hi - i definitely do not think that plagio is associated with autism. and just to ease your concerns, my daughter freaked out for the longest time when anybody other than her mother held her. she didn't even like when her father held her. she also did not like to be around a lot of people when she was younger. my daughter is two now and she is fine. 4.5 months is too young to diagnosis autism, but if you are concerned continue to monitor her behaviors and bring your concerns to your pediatrician. the earlier a child receives intervention, the better.

hello my dd is 4.5 months old and has mod to sever plagio and mild tort. we get to pick up her helmet next week. my sil just mentiond her friends kid also had plagio and they said that he was also autistic. i am wondering if anyone knows if the plagio can cause autism ornot. i do not know what the time line is for testing for autism. i know they tested my son @early intervention he was shoeing some signs, my concern is that my dd freeks out if someone other that mom or dad holds her, or even if anyone looks at her, we also have to keep her away from large groups of people bacause she freeks. it takes forever to calm her down. i know that these are some signs of autism, i am just nervous and don't know what to do. do you think i should mention this to our ped next week when we go for a check up? does anyone have info on autism and infants? thank you so much.cassie, elsinore utahmom to brody-3 and gabbie-4.5 monthsgabbie- mod to sever plagio and left tort
