My almost 3yo (in late Sept) DD has her NHS speech and language therapy assessment at the end of the month and is awaiting her first visit from Early Years support too. She has lots & lots of words, a lot is echolalia (delayed and immediate) but she has reduced that and made big strides forward in the past month or two in making spontaneous remarks in full sentences about things in her environment (what I’m wearing, what Daddy is doing, what her sister is playing with etc), better communicating her needs (no hand leading), sharing interests etc. She will respond to very specific what/where/who questions but has very little social conversation - sometimes she won’t even say hello to me when I say hello to her. Any more casual conversation is off the cards, though she will sometimes initiate something by bringing a toy to me and telling me something about it “piggie is sneezing” (a squeaky pig 😂)
Any ASD kids here present with the same and how have you helped/how are they now? Did it come eventually? I’m terrified about her having no friends at school 😭
There are a few other red flags for ASD (some sensory quirks - likes spinning, no fear) but this is the biggest one.
