[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I too keep thinking about you. We are on the same journey.  My son is only 24 months, and we haven't ruled anything out or in, we are just treating symptoms. We have scheduled with a developmental pediatrician. Right now we are doing speech therapy and normal preschool. Our son seems to be on the very low end of normal, below normal in some areas. Like your son, I have some ASD concerns. He flaps a bit, shakes his head, isn't verbal beyond naming things. But he knows our names and laughs often, and constantly demands help/attention/engagement, so I guess we have not been too concerned about autsim. At this point, I tend to think we have a global delay, maybe some LDs, maybe ADHD...He was also preterm, so I am loath to have him diagnosed too early. I know some preemies go through speech/sensory issues that look alot like autism but are overcome through therapy. I would definitely make an appointment with a dev ped. At this point, and at every point, you have to remember that the goal is to treat the symptoms.[/quote] Thank you. Your DS soudns delightful. :)
If DS were pointing, I would not be worried. But that is a major flag. I read so much, and haven’t been able to find one case of a child with ASD pointing before 12 months. We have been working on pointing a lot, and DS still doesn’t get it.[/quote]
