[QUOTE="TwoBoys, post: 27676, member: 3560"] Thank you so much for your responses. I really appreciate the information although truthfully I feel a little overwhelmed. Here are some answers to your questions. 1. How do they do in social settings? They both seem to do pretty well at school. I think that the 2.5 yr old parallel plays, but that is pretty normal at his age. His teachers have never said anything about his behavior. Once I said that he was acting up quite a bit at home and she said he was doing fine at school. On his progress report everything was marked okay. Our older child (just turned 5) does have some social issues at school. He is very quiet compared to at home. Lately, he has cried a few times when I dropped him off. His teachers say it is harder on me than him. He loves to have friends over and to go to friends' houses he just doesn't like school. 2. Speech or developmental delays? Our 2.5 year old has speech delays. I had him assessed at 18 months because I was concerned about his lack of expressive speech and he was accepted into early intervention, but they let him go after 6 months into the program because they said they could tell I was working with him quite a bit and also because he is in preschool 8 hours a week. He will be reevaluated when he turned 3 in August. He did regress at 9 months and stopped sitting up. His motor skills were delayed, but he caught up by 15 months. He had a battery of tests during that time and nothing came back positive. We did go to an Occupational Therapist (OT) and that helped quite a bit. She commented on how strong willed he was and said (in a nice way) that we will have some troubles with him because he was so head strong. Our 5 year old doesn't seem to have any developmental delays. 3. Sensory issues? Our 2.5 year old seems pretty bothered by the sun when he is in the car. He will scream and say "my eyes!!!". Other than that, he just isn't that excited to eat. He was born in the 50th percentile and got down to the 3-5th percentile when he was around 9 months. He is a very thin kid. I think he is back to 10-15%. He just doesn't care to eat. It doesn't seem that food textures bother him. He doesn't seem upset when he eats. Our 5 year old doesn't seem to have any sensory issues other than the anxieties I mentioned. He is a good eater, doesn't mind loud noise, or clothes. I've read a little about autism and from what I've read it doesn't seem to fit. They both interact quite a bit with everyone. They both laugh and play. They definitely respond to their names, they look you in the eyes, they love being around people and so forth. Thanks again for any suggestions or even just support. I truly appreciate it! [/QUOTE]
