[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 312270, member: 3907"] Hello Mrs Cheryl. I agree that a lot of what you're describing sounds very much like your child is on the autism spectrum, especially given that he has shown evidence of that on the screening tests. It's wonderful that you're looking into interventions this early, as they can make a tremendous difference. My difficult child's early development was similar to what you describe for your child. Late hitting most milestones, trouble with gross and fine motor coordination, poor eye contact, etc. My Little easy child, also spectrum-ish, has more clearly defined ADHD traits. I had my suspicions within the first few hours after his birth, when I heard a funny rustling sound coming from the cot in the hospital, and then all of a sudden a tiny knit hat came flying over the side. Little easy child was working hard to hold up his head by 1 week, saying single words at 6 months, and running (he never did walk) at 10 months. I think that as parents, we know fairly quickly that something is "off" with our children. The key is persevering and continuing to follow up with the professionals until we get the answers we need. I applaud you for taking these steps now, as they will help your child so much. Trinity [/QUOTE]
