22 months old son

So he doesn't speak and doesn't answer to his name so now you are asking if he needs therapy at the age of less than 2 years old??? What on earth were you expecting from him in all honesty and why are you feeling sad and hopeless? I'm genuinely interested.

Maybe have another one and pray they cook you breakfast in bed while singing the alphabet, then you won't feel so bad.

What a horrible, insensitive and completely unnecessary reply.

The last bit of my reply I admit wasn't needed but I'm an autistic adult and I have autistic children. Not talking and responding to names is the normal. Claiming a problem is there when your child has only been on this planet for less then 2 years or 3 years is utterly outrageous to me. I am totally against any training at this point in their lives. Now if I have offended anyone then please do let me know because I really don't want any part of a group that can harm children's self being anymore. Training them like dogs so they fit into society is wrong ....I shake my head in despair. If I can't talk freely being autistic on an autism site then we really do have a problem. I don't dress my replies up and I'm well aware I can be too blunt but that's me because guess what...I'm autistic and I wasn't trained in my safe family world. I am not having a personal go at anyone, I'm trying to shed light on how society can brainwash parents with developmental goals. My eldest children (in their 20s) speak fluently and sound very intelligent. My daughter was chosen to join in the choir at Cambridge University. This was my daughter who at the age of 22months grunted and ignored her name. Please see the positive in my reply....ignore the anger because its not, its passion. Take care.
