First excuse my english, i am not native english speaker (i live in Eastern Europe).
My son is 3.8 years old, and due to his autistic like simptoms i have been seeing doctors for 2y now. Living in a country where we dont have so much resources or specialist in that area, i would appriciate some advice if you could give me.
He did not get a dg of autism or PDD yet.
But some of his beahviors trouble me a lot.
Like:
- he has poor eye contact with other people and his siblings
- he does not respond to his name very often
- he plays alone most of the time, does not respond to cues from other children
- if i let him he could be all alone all day, only asking to go to the bathroom (he does not say he is hungry)
- he likes toys with moving parts that he can handle, he can spend a lot of time with them, also he can listen music from my mobile phone foreever
- if i try to remove the toy he gets very upset
- he speech is delayed, i think he understand a lot, but talks very litlle (very often he repeats what he hears in some situation and uses it without any pourpose)
- does not involve himself in play with other children or is interested in them very much
- have none pretend play or imaginitive play
- but he is not agressive in any way, he is very quiet and will listen if you tell him to do something simple
But we have a very close, and warm relationship, he talks with me more and answers my questions a lot. But with others it is like i have described above(especcially in kindergarten)
Does your children that have PDD dg have the same behaviors like my son? Should i push harder for a more clearer dg, then just speech delay and motor problems. I really dont know what else could it be? And i would like to get a proper therapy for him, couse at this point i am the only one working with him.
Thanks!
