Guest guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I always shudder when I see these lists these days. In addition to my 31 mo old son--the very reason I joined the group. I have a little guy that will be 1 on Wednesday. He's so far off in the communication skills that I feel like crying every time I see a list! I keep trying to tell myself that it's ok he's not understanding words or gesturing or pointing or babbling or responding to his name, etc, etc. But, I know in my heart that this is just not good. I've had concerns about him since he was 6 mos old. In fact, I mentioned it on here when I first started posting. I was worried about him not being able to transition to cereals and I got a few posts telling me to stop trying to push him to eat so soon. But, I knew in my heart it wasn't just that he couldn't eat. That was just the most obvious problem. He definitely doesn't shake his head no. LOL Heck, my 2.5 yr old doesn't even do that! But, tomorrow my 2.5 yr old is finally going to see a developmental ped. I'm a big ball of nerves. I'm so worried about autism. I guess hearing his diagnosis will help me figure out what might be going on with my youngest son. My youngest is having his first evaluation with EI next week (on his first birthday!) I sure wish I could wake up tomorrow and leave the world of developmental delays behind! But, I know that I really have to soldier on for my kids. It's their only chance of overcoming whatever is affecting them! Bridget > > http://www.aap.org/publiced/BK0_DevMile_12Mos.htm > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
