Q.

Hi, My 2.2 year twin kid hand flaps his hand everyday when excited. He also hops when excited. He respond to his name 6 out of 10 times. He watch me when I sing rhymes. I taught him to pick and eat biscuits for past 3 days and he is able to do so. But he flaps his hand quiet often. is he could be autistic?
