Anyone else?

I would suggest getting a second opinion fast! Does he say anything at all?? He should be putting sentences together at least. That doctor is dumb

The potty training isn't too abnormal. Re: talking, does he say anything? Have you had his hearing checked?

How much one on one do you get with him? That could be the issue unfortunately.

My 3 year old isn’t potty trained either but she is picking up words. She was born addicted and premie though. Her brother who we adopted has autism and didn’t start talking and potty trained til after 4.

My 3 yr old isnt potty trained yet and he is refusing to sit on the potty. He is also speech delayed. We have been doing speech therapy for about 6 months. Does your kid talk at all or he is non verbal?

The potty training isn’t concerning, the not talking part is but it sounds like that’s already being addressed. He could be speech delayed only w/o being autistic. Autism is not the only reason kids are speech delayed.

I would look into having a neurological evaluation done that’d give you a better picture of what’s going on inside the brain and also most likely receive a diagnosis which could be helpful in figuring out how to provide the best support for him to be successful

Has he had tubes in his ears? Does he talk one word, combine two words? Tippy toe walker? How’s he get along with his peers?

He’s had his hearing checked a few times and passed with flying colors. But he only says “ball” and sometimes “doggy” but not the most clear. When he gets excited he’ll say “yeah” but nothing else for words and again those aren’t clear. She says no signs of autism as he makes eye contact , which is a big thing when diagnosing. I wouldn’t say his doctor is dumb as she was the one who kept pushing to get him help with intervention when they were slacking , she’s the one who helped and kept pushing for other appointments when they wouldn’t do them. Plus I’ve had so much trust with her over many years as she was my doctor since I was a baby and I’m almost 28. So from the time I was 2-22. She’s been absolutely great. But, I feel like as a mom there’s something huge missing. She did put in an order to get him evaluated from a developmental specialist but they stopped communicating with me after 1 email and will not be in contact or reply or scheduled anything. Idk what else to do.

^ as a mom it’s breaking my heart seeing my son behind as I feel like a failure.

@Keisha Valdez I’m a single mom so he’s almost always with me or his grandmother.

Has he had multiple ear infections? Maybe tell your doctor that the place she referred to stopped talking with you and that you want to continue that route. I would still keep reaching out to that place tho Is he a tippy toe walker? Does he line up toys? Is he add social or seek others to engage with? Also the toileting comes with time. Some kids are just not ready even at 3

@KaraLee yes he’s had multiple ear infections, but he’s had his ears checked a couple times now sometimes he’ll walk on his tippy toes, but I think he does it goofy, especially when he dances, sometimes he’ll try to engage with others, but he’s more independent

I am struggling to potty train as well.Its been 2+ weeks now but we have had some During naps and at night we are still using nappies as he would not utter anything if he does on nappy or underpants...He was also speech delayed but stopping screen time to zero and lots of story books has helped alot ..he is still behind but I guess boys are just not that expressive..

We'll, so like everyone in the comments said , " Potty training isn't improving", well a child is still learning no matter the age. Don't be surprised, if he may have an accident here or there. Shy away from using the potty just continue to build the child confidence up. Try rewarding the child when he goes to the potty successfully. Watch Elmo potty training video on YouTube that's how I got my first daughter to use the restroom. Then with my son whenever I would go use the restroom he'd come in there with me or if sit him in the potty after drink and meal and wait so he just practically learn that's where we go. As far as the child being non verbal I'd suggest going to the doctors check his ears , brain activity to make sure nothing is wrong and if that's not an issue. Try getting word cards, watch Miss Rachel, and talk to the child everyday maybe without asking a bunch of questions.
