Hi Everyone
My 22 month old son doesn't talk not even point , or wave or clap. Doesn't respond to his name always, sometimes does. Doesn't follow instruction for instance if I say bring ur teddy or put something in bin. Even ask to share something he is playing just ignore. Does'nt move his eye if I want to show him something (look at this car or something) Spends hour after hour with small dish to collect stuff like crayon , building block , garlic everything. Throw everything everywhere and
empty rubbish bin. Doesn't draw. If I want to draw he will take my color and throw or collect in his dish. Not interested to listen story only loves to turn the Book pages.He is very good boy. Self conscious . He loves his little sister who is 3 month old. If I am busy try to keep himself busy with collecting thing in a dish.not interested to play with toy very much. Even not in new thing. His playing is very simple and same pattern. Sonetime he walks with toes and flap his hand. Sometimes round in a circle.
I googled and all of his signs are ASD syoptom. I am very worried if he has autism . It made me sick. Can't think anything. Is there anyone who had similar situation ? I appreciate ur any response . Thank u so much.

Best regards
Very worried mom

The weekly support sounds like a portage worker. It wasn't offered to my son until he was too old Angrybut has been beneficial to other children we know.

Some of the points raised by the original poster are very significant and concerning at 22M. If you look at her previous posts she states that her son was initially diagnosed with global development delays, significant global developmental delay, significant speech and language delay and social communication difficulties and put on the pathway for a possible autism diagnosis. She doesn't post any more after that but it is highly likely that he was eventually diagnosed with classic autism. Autism is a social communication disorder.
