in so many ways over the last couple of weeks that when we took him to his introductory session at developmental playgroup the teachers were using terms like HFA and possibly AS!
He is almost three and has started pointing, asking for things, gathering the family together to share things with him, greeting animals, people and TV characters - I'm so pleased
He even knows what shapes are and could name a circle, square, triangle and star. I've mentioned them of course but didn't know he was taking anything in unless he's learnt them from Mr Maker which is more likely
I don't think AS but seems he is quickly picking things up, coping strategies maybe? and some of his more classic autistic behaviours are less pronounced.
Just had to share, and sorry I haven't been commenting much, the board is a bit heavy on school / statementing which obviously I'm learning a lot from and am very grateful for, but have nothing to add to.
