[QUOTE="SRL, post: 6341, member: 701"] Welcome Dad4Life. The potty training isn't of concern to us here usually at such a young age. I know it's easy for us to say because we're not paying for diapers but in the long run scheme of life it's not a big deal if they train a little late. Some repetition is normal in 3 year olds but the fact that he's both displaying echolalia and has taken some steps backwards in that area would be a concern to me. According to the standards of the pediatrics society that alone is enough for speech/language assessment and screening for the Autistic Spectrum Disorders. He's a little young for this, but could you look over this list of play behaviors and see if anything on the list looks familiar? a. Favor objects for play that arent typically used as toys by their peers (such as wheels, sticks, magnet letters, etc.)? b. Seem fascinated or obsessed by objects/topics that arent typical for kids of their age (such as numbers, the alphabet, words, math, geography, mechanical things such as air conditioners or vacuum cleaners, things with motors, etc)? c. Play differently with toys or household objects (such as spin them, line them up in straight lines, set them up in formations, etc.)? d. Exhibit weak or unusual pretend play skills (such as act out memorized scenes from books/films/TV/DVD instead of creating situations and dialogue, move toy trains around but not pretend to be the engineer/go places/pick up passengers, arrange pretend people or action figures but not create imaginary situations with them or have them interact with each other, etc.)? Any social anxiety, general anxiety, obsessive compulsive tendencies or disorders in the family history? [/QUOTE]
