[QUOTE="jal, post: 312240, member: 3477"] Hello Mrs. Cheryl, I'm sorry you had to find us, but am glad that you did. I can only answer from my experience in that my son is now 7 and recently diagnosis'd with-ADHD/ADD combined type. He hit all his milestones on time if not beforehand and was speaking in 11 word sentences before 2 yrs. of age. Before the age of 1 he would wave hi/bye. A lot of what you describe (taking your hand and leading you, no eye contact, no strong verbal communication) plus the fact that he's hasn't passed most of his autism screenings seems to indicate you may already be on the right track. I knew something was different with-my son by the time he was over two. That is when his issues began to manifest themselves in the form of behavior issues in daycare, but again they were behavior issues, not developmental. If your state has a birth to 3 program you may want to contact them to have him screened again. If he qualifies, they can help you to access early interventionswhich is extremely important. Others will be along soon to add their input. [/QUOTE]
