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.
