[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all comments & tips. Yes, he already saw developmental pediatrician, and he had cognition delay, speech & language development delay & and social emotional development delay, but no ASD/ADHD diagnosis for now. Children hospital pediatrician told me that my boy is better off by staying at home with me than going to daycare because of one-on-one attention. And, [b]also I am told do not overstimulate him by taking him out to many classes because he is easily to get distracted & lose focus. I am told to try to work on his focus.[/b]

EI therapists are mainly working on his speech & development delay now with Hanen program approach, and I took him out to playground a lot to social with other kids. Therapists say that looks like he does not want to learn many times already and they are still trying to figure out a way for him to imitate sounds/words for the past couple months. I see the frustration from those EI therapists, and I also don't know what works for him yet.

I always hear that many normal kids have learned their letters, numbers, shapes, colors, body parts, animal sounds, and so on by 2 year old. I am not even expecting my boy knows any of these above (and he does not at all), but how about recognize shoes/cup some basic things from the book by just pointing. And, he cannot even do that, just does not recognize anything at all from book.

I don't think my boy has IQ problem because I see some potential in him, and on top of it, my husband told me that he had problem with focus & daydreaming in school till 7th grade without any medical diagnosis.....that does not help me feeling better. My husband is also worried that our boy would be just a mini-him will be having the same problem growing up, and it was a frustrating experiences, and he forgot how he outgrows it. [/quote]

That's just weird and I would disagree. He needs to start paying attention to others and to start enjoying the company of other children (and start noticing peer behavior) and fun classes (things he would like - active classes) are a great way to do that.[/quote]
