[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s too young to have “ruled out” autism. Do you mean the county said they didn’t have autistic concerns? Put some of those smarts to work here, op, and figure out that that means absolutely nothing and get a full evaluation later. At not quite theee nothing has been ruled out or in including super genius status. All you know is your kid can’t talk. [/quote]

Please, op, get him to a developmental pediatrician. I’m certainly no expert, but I’m watching my niece slip through the cracks because my sister is putting all her faith in the public school system. My sister also says “autism is ruled out”—because an EI speech therapist made an offhand comment about her not looking autistic. I’ll say what I cannot say to my sister because she is extremely sensitive. You cannot possibly rule out autism in a non verbal 2yo.

You shouldn't be ruling anything in or out and a developmental ped can be wrong at that age too.  I hate how people jump in saying my child is like that or even worse, my niece, who is NOT your child nor should you be diagnosing, is like that.  If child has an expressive delay, its not as big of a deal as an receptive but even so, it can just be a speech delay.  Bottomline is this kid needs speech therapy and everyone pushes EI and I don't get why as most of it is pretty bad.[/quote]
