Hi this is my first post on here, im very anxious about my DS speech delay he will be 3 in a few weeks and hasn't said any words he babbles a lot and makes sounds that sound like words, he has some understanding and will follow some simple instructions he is a very fussy eater and gets frustrated a lot. He grabs our hand and physically places your hand to what he wants. He likes to put new objects in his mouth it's like he's tasting them then will happily play with them. He hand flaps a lot and bounces up and down.he does give eye contact and will smile and laugh with you and likes to play chase. He is a very strong willed little boy which Causes a lot of tantrums when things don't go his way. He is under a pediatrician and she says he shows autistic traits and is most probably on the spectrum and could possibly have some sensory problems. I'm just so overwhelmed by it all and it sometimes it causes my husband and I to row he is our first child and it has put me off having another child as I feel sometimes I'm failing him as I don't understand what to do. My friends don't understand he comes across as a naughty boy in other people's eyes. We are waiting for our pathway appointment which could lead to a possible diagnosis any advise or strategies to help would be greatly appreciated xx
