[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At five, he should be more verbal if its just a language disorder and language should be slowly coming in, so there should be another diagnosis.  I'd put him in his room and cut his nails.  You may need to gently hold him till he calms down if you can.  I would get him a better evaluation at age 5.  Any child not even starting to talk at 5 is a huge concern.  Many late talkers don't start really being verbal till  4-5 but generally that is the time they start to improve.[/quote]

He has been diagnosed with apraxia of speech and also has a brain malformation. He is unable to form consonants and also unable to chew food. Putting him in his room is fine at home - but this happens a lot when we’re out. Today, for example, I was trying to talk with his speech therapist about his session. He wouldn’t stand with me and was pinching my arm to start walking to the car. So I picked him up and he was pinching my face. If I try to buckle him into a stroller, he pinches both my arms and my face. Same with the carseat. Same if he doesn’t want to go upstairs to bed. Same if a brother has something he wants, is in his space, is too loud, etc. He is otherwise very happy & outgoing and in a lot of ways easier than my others... but this pinching thing is getting out of control.[/quote]
