hi all

my son is 2yrs and 7 months. recently we got a one day play school. and the incharge gave us a report about our son that he is not responding to his name mostly and do not make more eye to eye contact.

they sent an letter to my health visitor coating this and asked for a referrel for ASD clinic. but apart from this he is very good in learning he is able to say alphabets, relate a for b for, colours shapes and more i can say complete pre school syslabus. he grasps what ever we teach. he was not talking great but now he is able to communicate what he wants in 2 languages.

i am not sure whether he is really in ASD...pediatric appointment is very far close to an year from now on.

not sure what next step can do... he plays with his friends whom he is meeting for long time. even when travelling when he see his age group kids he likes to be with them and do what they do... but in his school he is not that much moving with other kids.(i have not seen in school).. he is more fond of animals. he makes animal sounds what ever he saw in cartoon. more liking to play with animals especially with elephant. we get negative remark for this. but not sure is this autism how to take it from here...

pls give your inputs..

    Our son is high functioning and he wouldn't react to his name until he was 3 and a bit. He didn't talk until recently. He is very picky eater! Everything needs to be plain. He is now 4 and 6 months and he has made so much progess. We were wondering if he is or not autistic. I kind of knew deep down, if you now what I mean. He is so sweet and the most cuddly person I know. He loves movies and he would script and often comunicate using the scripts from his favourite programmes. He knows all the colours, animals, alphabet, numbers... You name it. He is expert with ipad (eventhough we try to limit this). He giggles and play "chase" with his brothers. He loves children and playing around them. He loves swimming and is so athletic! We are lucky he has brothers to push him in his social developement. We live in USA at the moment and the choice of help is great. I am dreading the return to UK next year... Good luck with the diagnoses and to me, it definitely sounds like, if he is on spectrum, it is the high functioning.
