[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds very much like my son, who was eventually diagnosed with ADHD at 4. We did OT and speech therapy without much success at that age. This may not be popular, but what really helped him was TV. At the suggestion of the speech therapist, we turned on Mickey Mouse and he would sit still and focus and he started picking up words that way. I also stayed at home with him and would spent all day talking to/with him but he never really learned any new words. Two episodes of Mickey and he had picked up several. It started to click for him and his receptive and expressive language really took off. We also 'read' some books on an iPad. I can't remember how because the therapist had loaded them onto her iPad, but those held his attention longer than paper books. [/quote]

OP here. My boy watch tv sometime, unfortunately he does not learn any words from TV at all, and I was told to cut his screen time. I was concerned about ASD or ADHD too, but the developmental pediatrician does not have any diagnosis for now, and we will keep follow up with the appointments. I am glad that you find a way that get click with your son, and it works well.[/quote]
