Just need somewhere to post as the worry for him is eating away at me. When I've voiced concerns to family or friends they say don't compare to older daughter or say boys are late developers etc but I'm worried there's something more going on. He has severe glue ear, which then improved, so I've been waiting to see how things progress and his speech has improved but still no two word sentences and he won't ever really say anything on demand (often says bye to someone once the door has closed for example.) But it's not just speech that worries me. I took him to a gymnastics class today and it just made me feel awful. He wouldn't sit down in the circle to start with and then would only go on the trampoline for most of the time and then spied two balls and then just wouldn't put them down. It worries me that he's obsessive with things whereas the other kids tried out different areas and seemed much more able to follow instruction. It might just be him or maybe that's how some toddlers are or maybe it is something more. He also leads my hand to things rather then point. He does point to things in a book but isn't able to identify many things. He can say things such as bubble/ football but wouldn't pick these out in a book. He can problem solve very well and knows what things are for and plays with his toy animals but he is always climbing and playing with the oven and washing machine. Again I don't know if this is something or nothing. I've requested a call from the health visitor as I know the 2 year check is now at 2.5-3 years and I just can't carry on worrying like this day in day out and everything I've read says early intervention is best and I want to do whatever I can for him if he needs it. I did the asq questionnaire online and he would fail the communication section but is fine with motor/ personal and social. He also sometimes grabs hold of me and shakes or grits his teeth but it's only really with me but I don't know if this is a form of stimming. Sometimes it seems as though he has a 'good' few days or weekend and I think oh no what am I worrying for and then a bad day and I think something is wrong
