NC and burying this post here.
DH and I are increasingly concerned about our DGS (strictly my DSGS), who is now two and a half. I’ve tried to summarise to keep the post short. Please ask for more detail if you need it.
Although we are told his hearing has been checked and is fine, chance encounters with other DC of similar age or younger suggest that he may have a significant speech delay.
He has recently had a developmental check, the first face to face. He missed a couple of things and apparently didn't talk in the session, ostensibly because of shyness.
It always seems as if he is in his own little world. He doesn't respond to outside stimuli and we haven’t seen a single photo since he was a baby where he is actually looking at the camera, smiling or laughing. He always looks sad and slightly bewildered, almost as if he doesn't understand this world.
Nursery have noticed that he mostly prefers to keep himself to himself, but they think this may be because he is just naturally quieter than some of the other children in the room.
We want to believe that all is well with this little boy, but as time goes on we become more concerned that it is not. What do others think? Thanks
