Question my new baby grandaughter is just 10 days old but doesn't like it when we touch her, she stars fussing. is this a sign of autism. I have ten grandchildren and this has never happened before.
Answer Hi Carol,
It's way too early to detect any signs of autism in a baby that's just 10 days old. I realize that autism is very prevalent and people are worried it might affect their loved ones. There are so many things going on with a 10 day old. It's highly unlikely that your granddaughter has autism. Besides, being fussy when people touch you at such a young age is not a strong indicator of autism. Don't worry about this. Let some time pass and you'll find that this will most likely change.
