[quote=Anonymous]2nd update - DS
DS has made some progress, mostly unrelated to the therapy, which we just started. He still drools, but not as much. He eats very well now. He’s learned to clap and wave just before 16 months, and started walking unassisted soon thereafter. He has a vocabulary of at least 14 words, but does not use most of them meaningfully. We’re only sure he understand what two of them mean. He still doesn’t call ‘mama/ daddy’ to get our attention, although he can say the words. Although he doesn’t consistently respond to his name by turning his head, he does smile when he hears me calling him. He thinks it’s fun to feed me, and insists on putting food in my mouth, not hand, laughing all along. He does point to my nose, eye, mouth when I ask him “where’s my nose, etc.; he’s also learned to reach out toward an object he wants, but with the whole hand. He still doesn’t point to a distant object, and doesn’t follow a distal point or eye gaze most of the time. This week we noticed some mild hand flapping (only the right hand) while walking.

DS does not bring objects to me, unless he needs help operating a toy or opening a box. He doesn’t seem to be sensitive to sounds, and we don’t think he has hearing problems. He still doesn’t shake his head Y/N, likes to watch things spin or wobble, and has a long attention span.

He seems to like new things, new toys, new experiences; not a stickler for routines. Likes to go out of the house, swings, walks, etc. We did notice that he’s not as friendly with same-aged kids, and swats at their hands if they try to share his toy. He whines more and gets frustrated more often, but he's very easy to appease or redirect. He continues to be very interested in other people, watching kids play (tries to engage slightly older kids), and makes good eye contact, especially with strangers.
