[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My eldest didn’t say his first word until 19 months. We were referred to early intervention at his 15 month appointment and started speech therapy at about 18 months. By 24 months, he was completely caught up and talking in full and complex sentences. We placed out of early intervention after six months (basically, that’s as fast as possible as they only test every six months). He’s now a smart, vivacious, neurotypical five year old thriving in kindergarten. [/quote] +1 Very similar experience. Did early intervention and DD caught up quickly. Our DD actually was diagnosed with ASD later on, but this was not remotely the biggest sign. Looking back the big signs at that age were that she didn't point, played repetitively with a focus on setting toys up, stimmed and could have longer than typical meltdowns (30+ minute).[/quote]
