My 28 month old DS is still not talking

[BlueEyes48]

I'm new to mumsnet and I really wanted to get some advice about my little boy.

At 28 months old he is only saying a few words and will occasionally repeat what you ask him to, he doesn't understand what I am saying he will just say "yes" to everything.

I tried to potty train him and we just ended up with 6 pairs of pants in the wash in the space of half an hour- an hour so I'm just going to wait until he begins to understand what I am trying to get him to do.

My question is is this normal? Or do you think that I should contact his health visitor/GP for some advice?

The paediatrician said he has a few traits on the autism spectrum and his speech and language is coming up as 1 and a half yrs behind were he should be but am waiting on another app hopefully in the next month he's only seeing her every 6 months at min x

Hi he wouldn't understand anything like that he knows a few things like hi 5 or wave bye bye but if I say anything else he doesn't understand anything

Hi, wondering how your ds is after some 3yrs. I have a 38mths old ds who we've already convinced is on the ASD and is in the NHS system awaiting formal diagnosis. Thx
