Different twin

by Connery
(Birmingham)

My fourteen week old son is the second born of a twin birth. We are concerned he may be suffering from problems other than acute reflux.

He bobs his head, waves his arms and legs almost constantly. And his weight gain is not normal, but simply worrying as he only put on 2.5 ounces over the last week and a half.

He does not make and hold eye contact like his brother does.

We have taken him to the pediatrician who inadvertently causes us more anxious by asking volumes of questions, but gives no answers and have asked for an in-patient observation session.

We would like to know if this has been encountered before by anyone.

We are worried our son could be seriously autistic or something.
