How bad is my son

NAS64294
over 4 years ago

I lived outside the US and my 25 months old son is recently diagnosed with ASD. I am very worried he will never speak to us

His behaviours

  • eye contact with parents/ grandparents
  • eye contact with strangers nearby
  • he doesn't point to things (but drag you to it)
  • toe walking (not very often)
  • doesn't respond to his name
  • speak around 20 single words
  • a lot of baby talk
  • head banging 
  • tandrum when he doesnt get what he want
  • obsessed with youtube video
  • can sing A-Z song, can say and point to the correct shapes and colors

However when I say 

"If You're Happy And You Know It" , he will clap his hand physically

And yesterday when I ask him "A for ?" "B for ?" he could answer Apple, Ball, Cat, Dog.......etc at first I guess he learn this from youtube and memeorize it by heart. But when I ask him "H for ?" he could answer Hot , which is a word we taught him when feeding.

    Hi! My daughter is 32 months and is diagnosed with ASD (we both are) she occasionally says the odd word but there’s no consistency with it so she’s still pre-verbal really. I’m confident that she will talk though, in her own time. From what you are saying your son is talking, hopefully this continues to increase.
