My daughter has always been on the later end of achieving milestones. Never delayed for the most part but just makes it within the stated timeframe.
The only thing she is delayed in is her speech. However I never worried too much because she still babbles, pointed and made eye contact. I decided to attend talk and play sessions to help with her speech development and have seen a difference. She has since increased her vocabulary and is mimicking more words. She is still delayed at 22 months but I was hopeful that she would catch up.
However another behaviour I have picked up on now is toe walking. She started to walk at 17 months and has since walked with her feet flat on the ground. However this week I've noticed her tip toe walk 3 times. I'm a little concerned. I'm wondering whether this could indicate autism and I should get her checked or if it could be that her calf muscles are weak. She falls down when she runs as well.
Does anyone have any experience or advice?
