[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 160566, member: 1550"] I'd think more along the lines of some sort of autism since the child doesn't really engage, especially if she doesn't make eye contact and has little interest in people. Not liking to be touched is another red flag. Is she sensitive to light or sound? Does she stare at objects a lot? I don't see this as behavioral because she's too young and there are too many red flags here. Autism can be diagnosed young, although most of the time it won't be. Her parents may do well with a developmental pediatrician keeping a close eye on her. I don't personally feel she is a typical baby or has ODD (which, as Sara says, is almost not possible at her young age). Plus ODD rarely stands alone. [/QUOTE]
