The NHS refuse to help as he functions really well in some areas but not others. My son knows alot of words, he can ask for things and he follows instructions well. But conversation doesn't exist. He does echolia from books or tv shows alot. So he can say everything he just has no desire to chat. He has poor communication and social interaction and he stims alot when there's alot going on.
He loves life he loves a lot going on so its excitement. We have backpacked around thailand and Cambodia changing hotels and travelling sometimes daily with no issue. He can dress himself, wash himself, make his breakfast etc its just speech delay and social and communication he struggles with. Ive had to go private speech therapy as NHS refused and now the same with occupational therapy.
Childminder has mentioned the spectrum but she says with the speech therapy hes doing much better and he might just need OT to help with social and emotional control and hell catch right up.
Im obviously now nervous and upset about what future may hold. Hes so loving smart and happy. Great eye contact and for the most part listens to you (same as every other 2yo).
What else can I do to get him to chat more. Any books I can read that expand vocabulary etc?
