A bit of a follow up to anyone interested, We talked to a family friend who is a pediatrician who said that nothing seemed unusual. Fast forward to 24 months and his expressive language caught up to the "normal" benchmarks (whereas previously it was a little behind), and now at 28 months h...

He actually exhibits none of those signs (at 20.5 months)... which is one of the reasons we were so confused by the way he laid it out there. It wasn't even a "I think we should monitor the situation" type deal - he seemed pretty confident. We're going to get a third opinion, and fortunate...

Well, the speech pathologist spent almost two hours with him and said she saw no signs that would suggest ASD. 8O

In the interest of full disclosure this doctor also expressed an interest in studying him at 12 month for his autism research because we told him that he was getting x hours of screen time a day (i forget the exact number but it was 1-2), and this was before any developmental delays were apparent. A...

That’s amazing that you’ve been able to make that progress. The doctor who said he thought it might be ASD also strongly recommended against any screen time or electronic devices though - if he is in fact ASD i take it that means you wouldn’t deprive him of this? He loves laptops that provide feedba...

Your new information puts things in a different light, however there are some "warning flags". But a person like me will not be able to put a diagnosis on your kid, it need to be a professional to do that and they can absolutely point it out by the age of 20 months. You are telling us a l...

I appreciate the honesty. With respect to the phone thing I think I may have overstated the time spent with the phone. It used to be over an hour before he walked, these days it's closer to 15 minutes tops. it's more our cell phones that he's obsessed with but it's not really repetitive - he's tryin...

A doctor recently told me that he thought my 20 month old son has ASD which was kind of a shocker to my wife and I. We plan on following up with a speech therapist to get a more thorough exam but that won't be for a while due to life stuff so I was hoping there may be some people here who have a lot...
