I had some concerns recently regarding my son's development. He recently turned 2. Spoke to my HV who did a baseline assessment and he's scored behind on a few areas. She is now referring us to a paediatrician for further assessments. The main concerns are lack of speech and social interaction.
He's not really talking (only says mama), and absolutely hates baby/toddler groups.
Up until now, I guess I've been in denial but now I'm starting to wonder if he may have ASD.
I've been reading a little and he seems to have some of the indications of it.
My head is a mishmash at the moment, so I'll explain properly tomorrow. Such a stressful time as I'm also heavily pregnant. I'm going to make notes about the things I've noticed and update tomorrow.
In the meantime, has anyone got experience or words or advice with young children with developmental delay/ASD they can share? It's just hit me hard today to know my concerns might not be entirely unfounded. :(
