Kellie,
My niece is now eight years old and still flaps her arms when she gets excited. When she was about two my sister-in-law was very concerned and took her to doctors and they told her that yes it was a sign of autism. However, with that being the only sign they ruled her a healthy, happy baby and as I said she still to this day flaps. She does it when she gets a new kitten and plays with it, when she's excited in class, even just watching her favorite tv show. Her teacher last year in school worked with her to stop because it is just a habit now. We can tell her to stop flapping and she will but then sometimes she will continue just to hear us say stop again. The only time we notice that she never flaps is now that she is in cheerleading. I guess because her arms are always busy and not left idle she does not think about flapping. She is a healthy, happy, hyper, little girl who knows no strangers. She's very verbal and gets along great with others. We joke about how it will be when she goes out on her first date and she starts flapping in the middle of the date. It will either be a good sign for the boy or a bad one. I hope your baby girl is fine. I will pray for the both of you!
