Hello Doctor! My nephew who is 7 months old still can't control his neck. Is this normal or is it sign of a developmental delay? What can be done to manage it? Also he doesn't maintain an eye contact or give a social smile. Are these signs of autism? How early can autism be ruled out?

My daughter is 2 years and 5 months old. She doesn't talk at all and only uses gestures to communicate with us. She is very particular about her toys being kept in the similar way and throws tantrum when her elder sibling spoils it. She likes to remain aloof and not play with her sibling. she sometimes make repeated hand flapping movements and continuously keeps on staring in one direction. Are these the red flags? Due to this pandemic we haven't been able to visit a developmental pediatrician. Please guide us what can be done and God forbid if it's autism only what should be our next step. I am very disturbed please guide me.
