How do i help my son. So little understanding & no speech at 2.

[3babies22]

Title pretty much says it all. Im so worried for him, minds running away with itself. Hes just turned 2 years old. Born premature. A twin. He has very little understanding and no words. He babbles loads and is very affecionate. Gived kisses, uses my hand to help or repeat something lifts arms to be picked up and grabs my hand to hold hands loves being outdoors and running and balls no sense of danger at all. But other than that no understanding of anything i say ive tried private speech therapy tried portage he just isnt interested its hard to keep his attention on anything. When i look at him i just want to cry... for him not me as i worry about things that sound stupid with him just being 2 but like will he ever speak, does he know i love him, will he be happy, have friends its really affecting me and i dont know how to help him.

@Hoth hi, both now diagnosed with ASD. And sadly still non verbal huge development in understanding and twin has now got words she can sing nursery rhymes and name characters etc DS still no words but socially has come on loads and plays along side us now and much more joint attention and understanding so lots of positives they are just over 3 now x

@3babies22 Thanks so much for replying. I'm glad to hear of the progress they both have made in understanding and socially. My ds is nearly 2 and really lacks understanding so hopefully I will similar developments with time.

I know this thread was a while back but how is your little one now? My son is currently 26 months and is exactly like this.

@3babies22 how are you little one’s doing now?
