My little boy was diagnosed a few months back at age 2.5. It was no surprise to me, but I kind of thought it might be fairly mild. He didnt stim really, only lining up toys, a bit of toe walkinG. So I thought it couldn't be very severe. But last few months, he does everything going flapping hands, hyper giggling, running in circles, jumping , grinding teeth and muttering "didah". The one thing paed said that stays in my mind was that when I see him next things will be better. At the moment I can't see any improvements in that time, and the appointment is in 6 weeks time! I just cant imagine things getting any better because everything has stayed the same so long.....just no progress..... Kind of losing hope. He is now nearly 3, stimmimg, lining up, echolalia, repeats words but has no intention behind words, empties boxes on floor all the time, no imaginary play. Just about can ask for TV or snack using one word sentence. Is there anyone else out there who has experienced similar, but eventually seen some progress. I'm starting to think this is it, he wont progress any more.
