Hi
I am a mum of 2.4yr old with developmental delay. No diagnosis yet but possible autism. He is non verbal with nil receptive language. He doesnot respond to his name and doesnot even mind if mum and dad are with him or not. He is completely in his own world. He was very calm child until now but he has become very hyper a month ago. He is jumping screaming shouting and no intrest in playing with toys(earlier he would happily play with them)i try to play with him somwtimes he would allow me to join in but is not cooperating and throwing toys away. His therapy has also stopped due to lockdown. I just dont know what to make out of this situation. Iam crying in nights thinking what the future holds for my poor baby. He has never shown intrest in sorrounding or anybody. As a baby he would watch tv for hours and would cry if it stopped. He doesnot seek anybodys company not even mine. Sometimes he comes to us for rough and tumble kind of play and thats about it. Things started to change in last six months when he started making eye contact and also coming for us to play. But every little progress is gone. He is back to himself again with added hyperactivity.
Sorry for the long post but i just want to hear from the parents whowent through this situation and how their kids are doing now. This might give some peace to my mind. I have a 4 month old as well and i also sufer from anxiety so i am worried that this situation and constant crying might take a toll on me.
We had portage since mid january but it stopped. We had an intial session with a chold psychotherapist and floor time specialist. She gave us some ideas to start with but he is just not intrested. How do i even start with him.
Please reply. Hope everybody is safe.
Thanks in advance
