My son ages 3 seems different from my older children and other children. This is a list of my observations:
Speech delay, not really any conversation (only responds no or related words. He has a lot of works and phrases (up to 4/5 words) but doesn’t really talk in sentences
Lack of understanding. He sometimes does what we say but not always.
Lost words
Doesn’t point or wave, doesn’t follow point very often
Repeats words and phrases
Doesn’t answer to name very often
Happy to play alone
Doesn’t join in in group activities, singing
Likes to lay down or be upside down
Licks things
Eye movements
Sometimes walks on tiptoes, flaps or claps hands and spins (but maybe once a day)
Picky eater will only drink from one baby cup
very little pretend or imaginative play
Likes a blanket on him a lot
Watching finger movements
Doesn’t like some texture like dirty hands or playdoh
Wouldn’t know how to ride a bike/scooter
Sometimes stares into space (maybe once a week)
kicks a lot (not people, unless they’re there, just into the air)
he has good eye contact
No meltdowns
Not fussy about routine (starting to notice change and gets upset at nursery when there’s a change but he’s just started there)
can anyone help or relate?
