[QUOTE="Lioness, post: 651662, member: 18827"] I read all the posts with great interest. I have had 3 children, only one had learning difficulty Dyslexia but has gone on to University. All 3 of my children walked early and spoke fluently by 2-2 and a half years of age. I work in a pre school so work with children every day. My grand daughter is 20 months. At 14 months she said "mum" "dada" and "no". She added Peppa a bit later a favourite cartoon character. She now only says "mum" and "bye". She was born 2 weeks premature. She walked at aged 1 properly. Now she sometimes walks on tiptoes. She also flaps her arms when excited or upset. She is obsessed with till receipts so I gave her an old purse. She spends ages putting receipts in and out of her purse. She hasn't added any more words. She does sometimes point to things, only likes two books for us to read to her. She does make eye contact but never repeats or copies words. I'm so worried that she is on the autism spectrum & when she had her 18 month check up they referred her for speech therapy. However the appointment hasnt come. I grew up speaking two languages with no difficulty. My Grand daughter hears predominantly English, however her other grandmother speaks to her in German. I have been encouraged to speak to her in Greek and have done in the past. I have now stopped as I fear this may be delaying her speech. I still sing greek nursery rhymes. I haven't told my daughter my fears as we have a precarious relationship as she suffers from Borderline personality disorder and I daren't say anything. My daughter is very argumentative and argues with her husband who is constantly walking on eggshells could this be why the baby's development is delayed or is it autism?
