[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What motor skills is he delayed with and how much? The lack of words is not a concern yet, but the lack of babbling is a concern. Fwiw, my son at that age did not have motor delays but was not physically affectionate, didn't like to be cuddled etc. However, he was still very social, wanted to be around us and play peekaboo etc. He has mild-moderate Autism. He had babbling that resembled adult speech in terms of intonation which can also be a red flag. But this is just one case and its really way too soon to see any signs yet. Gross motor delays and no babbling should be a concern, but it could easily just be a delay. I am surprised the therapist didn't tell you this?[/quote] OP here - The therapist thinks he has low level inflammation that is enough to “use up all his resources” .... we will pursue with a nutritionist. He had trouble breastfeeding, has constipation, and hives/skin issues. His motor delay is with crawling.... almost 11 mos and not going to his hands and knees. He’s done every other physical milestone on time, but the crawling piece seems difficult for him. Can you explain more about the babbling with adult intonation? When was your son diagnosed? Any other signs you saw? Again, I’ve been down this road with my oldest daughter, although she has much more verbal communication skills. But she had OCD tendencies and a number of other signs of autism, including difficulty making friends. But at almost 13, she’s flourished with friends sports academics. Still not affection, still has anxiety, some OCD tendencies, but not one person/therapist/dr has mentioned ASD. [/quote]
