Just don’t know if he has autism or not

He sounds exactly like my son who was diagnosed autistic with global development delay. We went through the public system with referrals put in at his 2 year old check, and diagnosis was at about 4 years old
My daughter started autism assessment at just before 3 years of age. She's now 3 ½ and although she's still delayed in her speech she won't shut up. She's the most gentle, sweet little girl. You can tell she's different from her peers but it's not necessarily a bad thing. She's thriving in her own way I have an older child (9) who still struggles with his speech and has ASD/ADHD/GDD. Some days are tough. We clash alot and it's harder to discipline him and make him understand what's wrong and right. But it's not the end of the world. Just accept and support your child the way he is. That's all that matters. Parenthood is challenging. Neurodivergent or not. It's just a different kind of challenge. You got this x
Thank you ladies
My son is very verbal but I noticed that he regressed with some skills with age. He had brilliant eye contact as a young boy and now at 9, he often won't look people in the eye, unless they are part of his immediate family. The same goes for physical contact. We are on the waiting list for assessment and the average wait in my area is 2 years. I wouldn't delay getting an assessment because waiting lists are long!
Hi, for the first few years of my son being born he wouldn't talk, he would point at things and make noises. I suspected autism but recently a educational psychologist said its looking more like ADHD and learning difficulties aswell as anger issues.. Its not always easy knowing the signs. Please don't worry, there are loads of children in similar situations X
