Is my DGS just a late developer or could he be autistic?

What Jane said.
We all know you can't compare children with one another. They develop at their own pace.

Autism is not the only cause of developmental delay! It's up to his parents to take action if they are sufficiently concerned.

My GS is 5 and seems to be abit slower than other 5 year olds sad He only recognises certain letters of the alphabet where as my friends GS is 4 and already knows the aphabet. He also still wears a pull up at night as he wets the bed still, and he finds it hard to wipe his own bottom and needs assistance. Apart from that he seems a bright little man, but my friend said DS should get him tested for autism?
