[QUOTE="frustrated440, post: 77202, member: 4091"] Hello and thanks for your response. I guess I should have told you alittle more about myself. I am familiar with austism spectrum disorders as I am a special needs aide at the school district here where we live. I work with- autistic kids and have worked with- aspergers child. My son however doesnt seem to fit in either and Im also aware of how broad the spectrum is. I have had the speech teacher do data on my son. She said that his speech is usually 3 wds. per sentence or phrase. She said to watch him but he seems to be alittle delayed and leans toward more of a older 2 yr. old speech than 3 but wasnt really concerned but to keep an eye on him. He has had a speech evaluation and Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation at a nearby hospital.
