Hi there. I am new to Mumsnet so I apologize firstly for poor first post.
I wanted to know if there was any mother's out there with 2-3 yr olds they think are autistic.
How have you delt with it? Who have you gone to for support? What problems are you having? What is your child's development like?
I have a lovely son who is very happy. He is 26 months old. His mobility is excellent... runs and climbs up everything. But totally failed his 2 yr check, as he has never says a word. He only makes baby sounds. He does not play with toys....he just puts them to his mouth. He has never pointed at anything or waved and never responds to his name. Is he just a but behind or is there more to it? He loves the TV and hears it when first turned on.
Autism has been mentioned but what do I do now?
Who is the best person to see?
I've been told he needs a sensory assessment, but what is that? Any help would be very much appreciated. I feel very overwhelmed and isolated.
