Hi i have posted before but there is just no help out there for toddlers with suspected ASD and this was the only place i could think to turn... would just like to hear your thoughts on the concerns for my son... so hes 16months old he did at one stage have very poor eye contact i used to cry wanting him to look at me but this has improved so much but compared to his twin brother its not as good but he does give good steady eye contact now. He doesnt really play with toys likes to carry them around he will give dolly a kiss and take puzzle pieces off and shapes out of shaper but wont put them back on/in. He has little understanding he understands ‘come here’ and will lift arms to be picked up but doesnt really understand much else he loves nursery rhymes and he knows the start of a came for example when i chase him around i start with ahhhhhhhh and he will turn around and run laughing for me to follow. He loves cuddles and comes to be picked up alot. He will lay on me and isnt fussy about going to anyone in the family he enjoys nursery and will go to all staff. He doesnt really tantrum and sleeps all night. But he has no words yet he says mama when hes crying. And babbles away but no words he wont point wave or clap but does know when doing a rhyme when its time to clap and gets his hands ready but then i have to clap them together for him. He used to be very fussy with food this has improved and he will eat anything apart from fruit!! He wont touch it. Im convinced hes on the spectrum and this has been flagged by nursery. Oh he also hates messy play he doesnt have an issue with being dirty but isnt keen on paints foam etc but loves water. He will feed himself and often has his hands covered in ice cream or yogurt. He tries to use a spoon but often goes back to using hands for everything but i dont think this is a concern for his age hes still young its more the not playing with toys not understanding and lack of verbal communication and gestures. He also has cery little interaction with his twin infact at times i think he doesnt like him but he loves his older sibling and cousins and any older children he goes running straight to them when they walk in the door. Ive tried to get some support as everything online says early intervention is key but just get fobbed off at every turn x
