[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP, but same situation here. My 18 months old boy does not respond to his name, good eye contact, great gross/fine motor skills, loves pretend play/human interaction/greeting people, and only has few words. We speak 3 languages at home, and he grabs things by himself, and rarely doing the pointing (he does point at moon/star/bird/dog in the sky once in a while). His pediatrician refer us to do autism screening because mainly he does not respond to his name & not pointing enough. May I ask how ENT do the hearing test for toddler because my little one cries hysterically & not cooperating everytime at doctor office?[/quote]

for an infant screening test, your child sits in your lap in a soundproof booth (small padded room with windows and somewhat dim light).  In one corner of a room there is a noise.  An infant looking toward the noise will then see a light go on, revealing a small toy w/ motion (something like a clown that claps).  In this way, the infant is conditioned to react when hearing a sound.  Since the baby is with only you, there is not much cooperation needed and fear of a mother person, like doctor is hopefully not a factor.  [/quote]
