Awww, that is sweet. :heart:
I don't think that it matters if a child is Autistic or not about smiling. Smiling is a bodily response so I think it could go either way. I know that Autistic children don't always smile at what people expect them to smile at but that does not mean that they can't smile at all.

I don't see why not. Smiling is just a muscle reflex in a newborn. They can't actually smile. Babies don't start to smile genuinely until they are between 1-3 months. But most babies can smile by three months.

I am pretty certain that your statement was part of some song lyrics by The Carpenters.

Seriously, in my baby book, my mother noted several times what a happy baby I was. After two daughters, she probably knew what she was talking about. :wink:

I'd have to agree. I think anyone can smile(Autistic or not.) if they feel genuine joy or happiness.

I'm sure many do. I'd be curious what percentage of babies in general smile on the day they're born.

I was a very happy and giggly baby, not a first, i was crying, but later i wouldn't stop laughing most of the time except the interesting thing is i would laugh at things i wasn't meant to and keep calm at things i was supposed to quite a majority of the time.


something cute though is that i always used to cry but then when i was put in my grandmothers arms id stop immediatly and be happy again, then removed and back into my mothers arms and id cry again, my mother held that against me for ages haha

I cried when I was born, and then I went to sleep. One of the nurses told my mom she'd probably disturbed my nap. :lol: However, I was generally a happy baby (not sure when I first smiled).

I smiled a lot as a baby, when I was two it became less. I was always fairly happy; sensitive but happy. My dad described me as bubbly and "bouncy" but very very sensitive to sound.
