Hi all just looking some advice and support really, my 17 month old had his first appointment with paed yesterday as I raised my concerns about him at 15 months with my hv and she referred us to gp and then they referred us to paed, basically some things we noticed with him, he can't pull to stand he tries so hard then gets frustrated and cries, he still can't stand alone he's very wobbly, cannot hold a spoon at all and feed himself, had. A few words then lost them completely non verbal now , he's never clapping never clapped or waving but does point to what he's want he's very smart. He doesn't like drinking out of any other cup he only will drink out of the one cup, hates loud noises does a lot of hand flapping and rocking back and forward and hitting his head , lines up his toys and food, can't walk with the walker falling over the place , etc there's loads more. The paed referred us to community paed, but said there's a waiting list, referred to speech therapist and physio, just wondering if anyone else's child been in a similar situation? He's still very young do you not think....
