The older ds gets, the less I am worrying about ASD. But then I see an issue or two and I have no idea whether it is typical or not. It strikes me as different but not necessarily problematic. Ds is nearly 2. I wonder if he will later be dx'd with Aspergers. He is very verbal. He socializes well but does prefers to do his own thing sometimes in "circle time." He has an uncle in whom I strongly suspect Aspergers which is why, despite assurances from some people, I can't get this out of my head.
Please, I am desperate for input and despite google searching for hours and hours, I am finding nothing on Aspergers manifestations in the 2 year old set.
Anyone whose child went on to be dx'd with Aspergers remember what their child was like at 2? What issues (if any) did you see back then?
What would I see / should I look for?
By the way, in terms of answering questions, ds does MOST of the time (ie - do you want juice? response - okay). But sometimes if the answer is "no," he just doesn't bother to answer. How consistent is a "typical" 2 year old meant to be?
