[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How was he diagnosed at 2.5 without language or cognitive differences? Kids that age do not play with other kids, it’s almost all parallel play. [/quote]

There are specific clinical criteria for that age and even earlier. A trained clinician can certainly diagnose at 2.5. Cognitive differences are not always present in ASD and are not a diagnostic marker for ASD. Sounds like you don't know much about it.[/quote]

+1. And many kids who are 2 want to play with other kids in a more substantive way than parallel play. My 3.5 year old played with a 1 year 11 month old yesterday (family friends' child) and it was not parallel play. The 1 year 11 month old is pretty advanced and my three year old was explaining things to him and there was a real back-and-forth. And my three year old regularly plays with my 13 month old. I'm not saying that children at 2.5 do not do parallel play, but instead that your experience with your child is not applicable to all children. [/quote]
