[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I[b] dont think the not playing with toys thing is not that unusual. My kid might occupy himself with a toy dump truck for a minute but he VASTLY prefers playing with things that arent toys like brooms, kitchen cooking utensils (like spatulas etc), measuring tapes etc. He likes to move around the kitchen chairs and big boxes of diapers also. When he was 1 year old he entertained himself for 30 min pushing his stroller around. It's just a matter of what interests him.

He has been evaluated by EI b/c he had a speech delay but I've been repeatedly told there's no other developmental concerns AT ALL (nor do I believe there are).[/quote]

It is a red flag. You can say it is not concerning, but that simply does not make it so.[/quote]

A red flag for what? Except for his speech delay (which he's almost now fully caught up with), my son is considered 100% developmentally appropriate by all the professionals we've encountered via EI, so I'm going to go by their opinion rather than your armchair analysis.[/quote]

Not playing appropriately with toys is a red flag for ASD and cognitive issues. Also, nobody is diagnosing your child with anything - nor can EI, btw - so I have no idea what you are prattling on about. But as you know, kids with a delay in one area sufficient enough to get speech through EI - which requires a major delay - are more likely than other children to have LDs, etc. down the road. I don't care to debate this in regards to your child; we are talking in generalities, obviously. [/quote]

So basically it could mean something, or it could mean nothing. Got it.[/quote]

Well, if there is a speech delay, 1 + 1 does not usually equal 0, so I would stop being so defensive and just watch it. Also, specifically ask about it. [/quote]

I'm not being defensive. As I stated originally there's absolutely no concern for asd for my son. I'm just sick of people posting to get evaluated for asd for every little quirky behavior. Some kids are weird, that doesn't mean they have asd.[/quote]
