My son displayed hand flapping when he was around 1 year old also. I actually have photos taken by a photographer where his hands are up in mid-flap. He did that pretty regularly.

He is now 17 years old, a senior in high school, working a part time job, fixing up his truck and living and enjoying the normal teenage lifestyle.

I think that while flapping hands may be one of many signs of autism, I don't think you should worry much about it until you speak with your doctor. Anyone can look at the list of symptoms and most of us will have one or more of the symptoms listed.

God Bless and keep on being the great mom you are.
