Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hi I'm new to the group and was hoping someone has a child similar to mine. Trying to figure out why he is delayed has been such a challenge. he is 3 1/2 years old and has been with Early Steps and Fiddlr. All of his therapists that he worked with as well as his pre-school teacher say that they don't feel that he is autistic or even on the spectrum...though his teacher did feel that he probably has Sensory Processing Disorder, though only slight. My question is what can it be if not autism? He is 2 years behind in his language. He is also pretty delayed with fine and gross motor skills. He has social issues...shuts down in unfamiliar settings, and just recently started screaming when someone he doesn't know says hello. His coloring is way behind...all he can do is scribble. Basically he is like a 2 year old even though he is almost 4. He does have great eye contact, has real connections with people,and his comprehension and language is getting better every day. Though, way behind, he seems very intelligent. Sound familiar to anyone? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
