Do check with specialist to get diagnose as delayed speech is not a definite sign of autism especially when she is two years old. Typically autism only gets diagnosed from 3 to 4 years old onwards, as the symptoms will get obvious. Additionally, showing interest in rhymes, shapes and number is also not a sign of autism. For autism to be diagnosed, you need to see a specialist and have observation done by the specialist, usually about a period of 1 year or more.
My daughter didn’t really speak much at 2 years old too, but she caught up later on. Perhaps see a specialist first to establish whether this really is autism? There are many ways to do early intervention and help your little one:)
Bring to psychology see if they can help. I rmh my cousin was sent to on centre specially for autism for treatment when she was young
Delayed speech is not a good indicator of autism. Seek help if you are worried. You can go to polyclinic for referral.
See a specialist but don’t be stress. There is no perfect way to learn. She is choosing her own path.
You may want to contact the Autism Resource Centre for assistance.
Best is bring to specialist
