[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. No, my 2 year old is not interested in talking at all even though he understands a lot of instructions. He loves pretend play (e.g. cook kitchen, play pranks, and use screwdriver on any screws) & any physical activities (e.g. climbing, kick ball, running). He is a happy, social & active boy, and not talking does not frustrate him at all.

I checked cdc 2 year old milestone, he fails the following:

Language/Communication:

Points to things or pictures when they are named
    Knows names of familiar people and body parts
    Says sentences with 2 to 4 words
    Repeats words overheard in conversation
    Points to things in a book

Cognitive (learning, thinking, problem-solving):

Completes sentences and rhymes in familiar books
     Names items in a picture book such as a cat, bird, or dog

Movement/Physical Development:

Makes or copies straight lines and circles

It looks really bad, right?[/quote]

OP, stop this. Again, [b]how was the delay "diagnosed"? by child find or the pediatrician?[/b] I doubt the ped said there was a cognitive delay.

The milestones you think he is missing cognitively are speech related. Many of our kids have fine motor issues. And he is two. Just two. You already know he is delayed so I don't understand why reiterating how "bad" it looks is helpful. Kids with delays make progress, and it is likely some of these delays will abate. You just have to take it one step at a time, like all of us.[/quote]

OP here. To explain, Infant & toddler program evaluated him a couple months ago, and told me he had social & emotional delay, expressive & receptive language delay & cognitive delay by 30-50% delay of each categories.  He failed the mchat test, was referred to children hospital for evaluation by his pediatrician. Children hospital's developmental pediatrician evaluated him 2 months ago, and suspicious of ASD, no official diagnosis yet but need to do a follow up every couple months. So, every professionals tell me that he has delay. [/quote]
