[QUOTE="Dara, post: 169707, member: 3572"] He does not have a weight issue as of yet and are hoping not to start one. Sammy will be evaluated by a speech pathologist on July 1st. She doesnt do a whole lot of session in the summer because she is home with her children. THe problem we have with Sammy is that he is completely apathetic to all discipline. he flat out does not care. He also gets so focused on whatever it is that he is trying to get or obsessing over, there is no redirection. You can try to redirect and offer many neat things but it doesnt work he is too focused at the task at hand. Now he is starting a fake language regression and comprehension regression. We know it is fake because 1) he was tested last month for a test where he had to sit and focus for 3 hours at a time using his listening skills, speech skills and comprehension skills and performed beautifully. 2) he doesnt have the lack of speech or comprehension anywhere else but home with us. His therapist saw this on monday and was fuming. He said "this is so infuriating! He is acting like he has no comprehension" I said " I know!!" He has this fake language and finally when the therapist said Sammy stop. he did and communicated just fine and amazingly understood everything. When people come over to the house they cant talk to him. He will just make noises and run in circles and roll on the floor.
