If she's doing this at 4 or 5 years old or older then you might be concerned. At 3 months old this is totally normal. Her nervous system and synapses in her brain aren't even finished developing yet! She is making sense of her world (the people she sees, who, by the way, in her mind do not exist until she sees them again as she does not yet have object permanence). She could be trying to make sense of her sense of hearing by turning her head to hear the words better. Don't worry about it.

most signs of autism do not appear until around 12-18 months (which is why the hype about the immunizations causing autism, they happen around the same time frame)
my daughter has aspergers (a very mild form of autism) and we did notice some very minor things when she was a baby, but no real symptoms until she was a year old.

I teach early childhood special ed and have taught many children with autism. What your child is doing is completely normal for a 3-month, especially since you say she will make eye contact and smile on occasion. If you have concerns, address them with your doctor at your next check up!

Sounds like normal three year old behavior. I have two suggestions though: (1) Have you tried putting her to sleep on her stomach? (2) Have you had her checked for sleep apnea?
Back sleep is associated with social skills delays at 6 months, motor skills delays at 6 months, deformational plagiocephaly ( flat head syndrome ), torticollis (tightening of the neck muscles), increased episodes of sleep apnea (lack of oxygen), shoulder retraction, and TMJ. Stomach or Tummy sleep has none of those negative effects and also helps prevent hip subluxation, increases psychomotor behavior, increases sleep duration, and helps to lessen infant colic. Also, the SIDS prevention Back To Sleep statistics are misleading, overstated, and not even applicable to 99% of infants. Before 1993 over 70% of American babies were put to sleep on their stomachs, 13% were put to sleep on their backs and the rest were put to sleep on their sides. Since the Back to Sleep campaign began in 1993 we've had a 500% increase in plagiocephaly as well as a dramatic increase in children with speech and language disorders, learning disabilites, Autism Spectrum Disorders, etc. The pediatricians say the negative effects of back sleep are "temporary" and "transient" but I doubt they are right. But, if you have concerns about your child you should have her professionally checked because the one thing everyone agrees on about autism is that the earlier it can be diagnosed and treated the better the outcome. If a parent does decide to put their baby to sleep on it's stomach though they should watch them first or possibly have the baby sleep on it's stomach on the parents chest to see how it goes. Also, all babies should have a minimum of 3 hours a day of awake supervised "tummy time" for proper psychomotor development. Sorry for writing so much. Good Luck.

My son does this too, but I don't think it's autism, you can't really diagnose it until a few years. My son likes to look away because he likes to see reactions, and he has a lot of attitude toward his parents... just like us lol.

Normal 3-month-old behavior.

No, it is far too early. Around 1 year old they can begin doing qualitative tests, though that may have changed; consult a paediatrician.

It you think something is wrong
Do not ask us, talk to her doctor
If you do not like what he said, look for a doctor that specialize in Autism
Yes some can start this early
What are the signs, I do not know
