Hello everyone ,
I am posting on here as I’m worried sick about my 18 month old son, he’s lovely and either way I think he’s a amazing , but I am almost sure there is something not right going on.
He hit all his milestones up to 1 year old perfectly , but when it came to speaking nothing has happened.
He makes nothing that even sounds like a word other than when he was about 11 months old he used to go ‘Mmum mmum ‘ then it stopped 😔
So thinking for 6 months it will happen it hasn’t and I’m so worried about him.
Also I’ve been reading up alit about autism and I think he has a lot of traits.
- he loves tv ,singing programs
- bounces up and down to the tv
- started walking in his tip toes sometimes
- started spinning around making himself dizzy
- only just started responding to name 80% of time
- hasn’t got amazing eye contact but does make it
- enjoys spinning wheels around on his cars
- hates the feel on play doh and his sisters slime !
- takes interest in things such as bolts
- does not understand instructions
He is a happy enough little soul though , smiles , laughs , loves water and is very very affectionate towards his daddy!
If anyone could shed any light it would be very much appreciated!
