Hi all, just after a bit of advice!
We have a ds who has recently turned 2. In some areas he's doing really well, he's potty trained, is a 'good eater', very affectionate and really loves pretend play (mostly feeding people /toys and cleaning 😂)
But there are a few things we've noticed that we are wondering if it's just Toddlerisms or maybe things we should be flagging up? A few examples, he gets very set in doing things certain ways, his play is quite repetitive, he is constantly walking on tip toes/spinning in circles /running laps of the room and will often flap his arms around. He has recently taken to trying to 'kiss' glass like windows, mirrors etc.
His speech seems to be coming on more the last week or so, he has about 30 words and a fair few 2 word phrases (thank you, one more etc)
He is mostly a happy, content chap. Nursery say he's very sensitive, he has always always properly cried at drop off (he started in May last year) but once he's settled he really enjoys himself. He gets a bit overwhelmed if there's loads of children around doing one activity, but this does seem to be getting better, for example at soft play a bit ago he did seem more confident.
Not sure if I need to worry about any of the above? My husband has dyspraxia and he has 2 cousins with autism so he does 'look' for things so we can get him help/support if he'll need it because he says his and his cousins needs (for want of a better word) weren't picked up on until they were older and he did struggle.
Our son is who is, but I guess I just mean if we could do stuff to help make his life better, I'd hate to think we didn't because we missed stuff, if that makes sense?
