Brief Answer:
Please let me know about the hearing test if it is done
Detailed Answer:
Hi
As I remember I have replied to your question about 10 days back.
At that time I requested you to go for hearing test.
I would like to know if the test is done.
I won't get worried if the hearing test is normal, as in that case it is assured that even if speech is delayed there is nothing abnormal.
Delayed speech is very common now a days but one should rule out any hearing abnormality.
Interacting more and more helps in early speech development.
I would request you to get hearing test done if not done earlier and consult a pediatrician to alleviate your anxiety.
Regards

Thanks doctor will get clinically evaluated .Apart from that delay in speech related to autism or anything
Brief Answer:
Language delay only does not indicate autism
Detailed Answer:
In autism apart from language delay other abnormalities like poor eye contact, abnormal activities, repeated activities, poor interaction, lack of play are also present.
As you have not mentioned any of these,possibility of autism is very less.
I hope consulting a pediatrician will solve your problem.
Best wishes
