Hey ladies
I have a 2.5 girl. She has zero interest in talking. Like none!.
Every so often she will drop us a bone like say apple when she sees an apple, orange, fish etc. I think I have heard her say a maximum of 7 or 8 words. She has called me mama to my face.. twice.
I wouldn’t say she’s social, but she’s not adverse to other people she makes eye contact with others, smiles and high fives. But there is a lot of independent play.
She has a short attention span and has stimming such as, abit of flapping, humming but not to the point it overtakes everything else. But there definitely might be a sensory issue. She loves puzzles, shapes sorting can sit through a book. Eating is fine, sleep fine.. no other irritations.
We have had a couple of informal assessments but not a diagnosis. But mostly falls back to behavioural, just doesn’t want to speak. We are trying aba, and we are looking into play based speech therapy.
Has anyone had experience of this, we are stumped.
