My son can't do basic things at 8 years old. I'm worried. Should I be?

[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 593839, member: 2196"] My first thought after reading your post was some form of autism as well. My son has asperger's and like your son developed milestones later than normal. That was my first clue. He didn't sit up till he was nine months old, didn't start walking till he was sixteen months, and didn't talk until he was two and a half. At the age of ten he still couldn't tie his shoes no matter how much his dad and I worked with him on it. Now at the age of twelve he can tie his own shoes but he is still very slow at it. He can't wear belts cause he can't buckle or unbuckle. My son is incredibly smart despite his disability and social issues. I'm glad you are planning on calling his doctor for an evaluation. Good luck with everything and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
