this is my brother Ryan he turned 2 in November.

Alot of questions have gone on with Ryan , Do you think this is autism or some sort of developmental disorder?

He sounds and acts like a normal toddler to me, unless there are other issues not seen in the video.

I think he seems very normal. Has the pediatrician said anything?

suposidly they dont think its anything. hes been tested a few times. He also cant take bites of food, if you hand him bread he'll suck on it. everything has to be cut up. and he gags and throws up on alot of stuff. he still cant use utensils.

I don't see anything wrong with him in the video. He seems perfectly normal to me. As far as the biting the food, I wouldn't worry about that either, Isaac likes his food cut up as well. He doesn't puke alot, but he'd rather his food cut  up and eat it w/ a fork. I hope it all turns out well, but to me he seems like a normal toddler! :)
