I have a beautiful little girl of 34 months who doesn't say many words in all about 15. Was a late walker 18 months. Has 2 older brothers of 5 and 6 years old.
I've seen a speech and launguage specialist and she sees no red flags for autism and also a peds who has said the same thing. We have a follow up appointment with the peds in around 3 weeks. We have another block of seeing also the speech and launguage after Easter. They all say she has Launguage delay.
She goes to pre school 5 mornings which she loves and they see no issue just delayed in talking.

I'm worried sick all the time and am trying all the time to get her to speak more!!

She runs up and down when bored in the garden and sometimes flaps but I'm hoping that this is because she can't talk and gets frustrated and when had enough in her feeding chair rocks to get out.

Anyone else had this?

Any advice would be really appreciated.

hi there, no experience but yes they can certainly have speach difficulty without having autism it's not the same thing at all.
