everyone
This is my first post sorry if it is too long.
My DS is 15 months tomorrow, he eats well, sleeps occasionally through the night although can be unsettled and I believe he meeting milestones on target or before (walking 10 months/ crawling 6 months).
He has been babbling since 8 months, can say mumma and what I think is ducks. He makes sounds all days some sound like words. That’s it for verbal communication.
Non verbal he can wave, clap hands, shake head for no and trying to nod. The last six weeks he has been pointing (full hand and more recently index finger) for interests, things he wants and pictures in book. He brings items/toys to show us this had been happening for 5 months.
He pretends to talk on phone, drink from empty cup, fed teddies and me. He plays with toys well and plays with our dog. He likes peek a boo and chasing games.
He can feed himself with loaded spoon/fork, finger foods and drinks well from cup. He can turn pages in book, make marks with crayons and press buttons on toys.
He can run, walk, climb on couch and stairs.
He responds to his name most of the time, give reasonable eye contact, points at me if you ask where’s mumma and points at our dog when asked. He gives me kisses when asked.
As you have probably guessed I am concerned about speech development and possible links to autism. Do you think he is developing on track or should I seek help?
Thank you
