Every appt I have had with my pedi for my daughter (at 15 months and on) - they give me a checklist of questions that indicate signs of autism...signs usually start showing up around this age - one of my friends son's has it. I wouldn't really start worrying though - there are plenty of kids that didn't start talking til later. My daughter really didn't start til around 2 and that's with 9 months of EI weekly - sometimes they don't talk til they are ready. But having an EI evaluation is a great thing and hopefully will alleviate your fears!
