[quote=Anonymous]I can’t quite figure out what I’m seeing but I would love some ideas on how to either stop worrying or do something about it. Right now I feel like I’m stuck in limbo. I have an almost-three year old boy. He was diagnosed with apraxia at two (not “officially” but highly suspected) and has been in intensive speech therapy since then. He’s now speaking sentences and even if they’re sloppy we are thrilled with his progress. He’s affectionate, engaged, makes eye contact, shows us things, wants to play with us.... and yet. Something is making me uneasy. When we are around other kids I can’t shake the feeling my son is not quite the same as other kids. Is this the language delay? He had never sung. He was a late waver although he always pointed. He likes other kids but he’s also happy to play alone. He warms up to groups slowly - he tends to stand back and watch intently in a way that seems much older than his peers. He’s never been incredibly affectionate unless he’s sick. He definitely had a little sensory seeking behavior and has moments where he seems out of control of his own boys. He has a couple of strange things - he pushes up his sleeves obsessively, he hates swings, he can’t ride a tricycle.... but nothing that appears to interfere with his ability to function. We have asked his teachers and SLPs and they think he’s doing great. They have repeatedly ruled out autism. Does this sound crazy? What am I picking up on? Are some kids just slightly odd? Do they put grow it? Have I been overly sensitized by his early CAS diagnosis? What would you do if you were me? [/quote]
