Morning everyone. Just looking for advice really. My 20 month old son is not saying any words at all and I'm just wondering if you guys had late talkers. Before his 18 month check he was saying about 5 words but he just refuses now. He'll shout 'Ma/Mum) at everybody but that's it. He understands everything we say to him and will carry out basic instructions but if I encourage him to say a word he shakes his head No. Or screams. The screaming is full on. Screams at everything, happy or angry doesn't really matter. Screams most of the day and some of it the highest, loudest screams I've heard. Even if he gets a toy he wants he then just screams in frustration. He seems so angry and frustrated all the time. He loves being outdoors and the fresh air and music really seems to calm him. I'm also considering if he's showing early signs of Autism but don't know if I'm overthinking things.
Any advice would be appreciated.
