[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 430011, member: 11847"] The doctor talked to us: husband and myself. difficult child was next to us all the while but refused to say a word. He just looked at the doctor when he was trying to ask him questions. That is pretty typical though: difficult child is very reserved with strangers. We did not have evaluated for speech, but I really don't have any concerns about that. My oldest son had a severe delay in speech and difficult child has really no signs of speech pb. He is actually very verbal and plays with words/meaning a lot. Not necessarly in a good way, but he uses language very good. He is bilingual and that never delayed him at all. He could talk in several words sentences by age 1. His hearing was tested 2 years ago (when he had tubes placed) and it was good. We had a couple playdates with one of his classmates (first kid he ever talked to after 2 years of preschool, though 7 months in that preschool). He is a difficult child (do they relate?), but it really shoked me what triggers difficult child and what triggers his friend. Like his friend is going to throw a fit because it is time to go home or because he can't go on the caroussel... difficult child will have a meltdown if he gets the wrong cup color, does not do the bedtime routine in a specific order, don't get to close the door a special way, etc... Now that I'm writing, it seams like he worries about the "form" and not the "content or "purpose of the action". And you never know what's going to matter or not. If you ask his classmate why he is having fit, he will give you a logical explanation such as " I don't want to go", "you made me mas that's why I'm punching you". If you ask difficult child, he will just say "I don't know" "I can't stop" "I want to be good but I can't". As far as autism, I really don't think so. I don't know much about autistic kids but difficult child looks absolutely normal to the untrained eye. In a new environment, he will actually be shy and just observe. At home, he is quite outgoing.
