[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It might be too early to get a definitive diagnosis, but have you been to a developmental pediatrician? I would focus hard on speech and/ or AAC. When kids can't communicate with language, they communicate with behavior. How is his receptive language?[/quote] OP here...we went to a developmental pediatrician when he was 2.5 and it was not helpful (other than that she told us he may be slow on the cognitive side). I don't know if he is slow cognitively because of speech delays or because of other things (however, he seems intelligent on some level, very good with transformer like toys or electronics). His receptive is getting better but many times I feel like he has selective hearing. For example, I know he knows the word for food, but most times, I have to put the food in front of him for him to pay attention enough to come sit down and eat.[/quote]
