29 months non verbal grandson

howmanyaliases

Hi

My Grandson who is 2 years 5 months is currently awaiting assessment but looking very much like classic autism and we are very worried for him.  He dosen't speak or understand any words at all.  He flaps his hands, gets up on his toes when watching tv, loves spinning toys and lately spins himself.  He hardly interacts at all, although lately his Mum has been able to get him to enjoy some nursery rhymes.

He a mild, happy child though and loves watching his videos or will play hapilly with toys if the TV is not on.  If he does spot the tv remote he will bring this to you to get you to put it on and this is one of his only forms of communication.   He dosen't have tantrums or any ritual behaviour. But plays with things in a repetative way.

We realise that this is a wait and see situation and nobody can tell us if he will ever develop an understanding of language but it would be reassuring to hear of anyone with a similar child who did go on to speak.
