[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds very similar to my child. He never lost weight, so we didn't pursue feeding therapy, and he made rapid progress in speech therapy (no words at 18 months, sentences at 24 months). He also didn't engage with the other kids at preschool and we did a year of OT. At that time, no one seemed concerned about autism and we didn't pursue a more global evaluation. At 5, he was having more difficulty with groups and still wasn't engaging with other kids; we finally got a global evaluation and an autism diagnosis. OT was a waste of time because the sensory issues weren't what was preventing him from engaging with other kids. If you feel like you're already overwhelmed, I would skip OT.[/quote] Talking by 24 months is nota true speech delay. We were set up for feeding therapy when my kid started to eat a few things and the doc said if we were managing at home, don't do the therapy.[/quote]
