My identical twin boys (2 years, 3 months) seem to have, for want of a better word, stopped in many aspects of development. They're way behind in language (currently have the same few words, gestures for about 6 months) and one of the boys has started crawling the last few days (?) to get around - only sometimes though.
They're being referred for SALT and should be seen soon. I feel I play/read, print off and put up pictures/flashcards all over the house, talk as much as I can to them (also have older 4 yo DD) but I know this terrible, but am losing heart and some days I think - 'what's the point?' as it doesn't seem to make a difference.
I'm finding it all very, very frustrating, as there's been no acceleration of language, plus they're very active and easily frustrated too so hard to play with or get them to sit anyway. They are also very happy, smiley, communicative little fellas though and creche worker not worried about their social skills.
I think I'm just worn out and frustrated as wondering when they'll start to develop language as at the moment, they seem more like one year olds. Hard to play/chat to them as they seem more keen on climbing/wrecking the house, etc. I want to be a better mother and be enthusiastic but it feels like a bit of a struggle at the mo.
I know I prob sound very critical but just want reassurance it will happen. Am worried about ASD and am terrified about what SALT will say at the assessment.
Thanks!
