I know a 2 year old with diagnosis. Sometimes it’s very clear at that age especially if the more classic autism traits are seen. Classic / Kanners autism is usually diagnosed before 3. Early intervention = better outcomes so if the health care professionals are confident they will diagnose. The NHS also look for traits at the 12 month and 2 year checks.

Just to add tho: not all children present in this way and it doesn’t become more obvious until primary age. The waitlist for older children is often lengthy.
It's usually harder to spot in girls. I've thought from an early age my daughter has it as she has arfid an eating disorder closely linked to asd, she didn't walk until she was almost two as she didn't like putting her feet on the floor, wouldn't wear socks or shoes, wouldn't let me wash or brush her hair or brush her teeth. She's seven now and avoids eye contact, is very quiet, becomes quite fixated on certains things, recently she was obsessed with elf on the shelf and now everything is lilo and stitch. She struggles to follow directions or instructions, uses her sister to speak for her, very rarely do I get a cuddle or "love you". She is now struggling with school and more or less requires extra support on a daily basis. Thankfully since having a multi team meeting with her consultants, teachers etc. She is now being referred for a SEN assessment but it doesn't get anymore support than she is already getting. if Layke does have ASD, im glad if they have diagnosed early and can get the support, interventions and help from an early age. But unfortunately there is such a long waiting list she may not get a diagnosis until primary or even high school.

Thanks for sharing. Your daughter sounds very similar to mine in some ways. She was diagnosed at 8. The wait list around here is 3 years so we did it via NHS right to choose in the end. Took 9 months to the day from GP sending referral to receiving a diagnosis. Worth looking into if you haven’t already (If you’re uk based)

It’s crazy the length people be waiting for an assessment it’s basically postcode lottery all depends on your area. Wait list in my area 18 months so my daughter got her NHS diagnosis at 3 (nearly 4) where as another trust in NI wait list is 5+ years.
 
I came to comment as just saw some pics on her Instagram. I highly suspect Layke has Autism just by what I've seen. (Also a mum with a child with autism and can mostly tell like the other mums on here). Hopefully she's getting the support she needs (both of them).

She’s too busy doing TikToks in her latest reel, to realise her toddler could seriously injure the baby… I can’t believe she posted that!

Omg not only does her one child look like she’s putting the other child in danger she’s too busy miming to tit about ‘popping her cat’ infront of her young kids. She’s embarrassing 😩

Poor Layke looks a bit overwhelmed in that vid…
Why tf has she had extensions added into her hair? Poor little girl has hardly any hair to hold the weight so likely would be irritating her head. She doesn’t seem to have textured strong hair either so probably end up really pulling on it.

A fancy holiday. Not sure what she does to earn money. She lives in a regular house I suppose and drives an older car. As there are 3 kids she will need to move soon. Does the older one not live full time with her ?

I thought she already moved? Her youngest twos dad probs funds her life and she makes money off fashionova ads but can’t be a lot.
And I think she seems to be with her dad a lot they do parent so probs there half the time

shes been at the current house a few years. It’s a small 3 bed. Ok for two young kids but not for 3 as they grow.

She's not showing Layke much, lots of pictures of the baby or winter and the baby. Any pictures of Layke are mostly strategically face covered or glimpses and the videos Layke does appear to have Autism.
