Has he/hasn't he

Cenaj

Hello there,

I'm new to the site and have already found it very helpful.

If someone could look over my list below and give me honest opinions that would be great. My son is 33 months old. I should mention he was very premature at 26.1 weeks gestation. for a while now he has been showing the below signs (as I understand it) of ASD. 

• fleeting eye gaze

• severe GDD

• is friendly but doesn't know how to join in and prefers to play alone

• is funny with my mum and sister even though he sees them every day

• lays on his side to play with some toys, particularly cars

• 80% of the time doesn't respond to his name

• wakes frequently in the night

• would run into the road or run off if he could

• walks on tip toes and has a gait

• I have many mini routines that must be followed

• has no spacial awareness

• lines/stacks some toys up every now and then, doesn't get mad if I knock them down

He is a very happy and smiley little boy and enjoys cuddles (on his own terms)

Is there anything else I could be looking out for as an indicator?

Thankyou for taking the time to read this.

  • I should have also added that he is currently under a ped, SALT and Portage. I hope I didn't mis-lead anyone. 

    It was more to see what others thought as at the moment we are gathering information to put forward for an assessment. It seems it will take a very long time. I just want to make sure I have all the information needed should anybody ask. I've read enough to know the common signs but was wondering if there is anything else I could be keeping an eye out for. 

    We have been very lucky with all the people that have helped him so far but I feel a bit like I'm pulling teeth trying to get him assessed. 

    All I want is what is best for him. He's done amazing and I couldn't be prouder. I just want as much support as possible to make sure he can do whatever it is that he wants by having the best care possible.

    Thankyou
