This is my beautiful son! *21 months old*
Edit** Hi! thanks for all the responses and msgs, I havent been on youtube in a long time.
My son is 25-26 months now, and boy has he improved! He actually points and shares things, he looks more often unless hes focused, his eye contact has improved where he will Loook at me and attempt words. His speech has improved too. Of course I have also been working on a lot of these things since 20 months. So I can't be sure the effects, but i know for sure I had to work harder get him where he is.
He also is spacing out less, but there has been episodes his whole body shakes or just arms, so were going to an eeg.
The speech therapist says he has a "language disorder" so were working on that. He also has slight sensory issues i know of. He does have mild texture food issues the occupational therapist saod is normal in 2 year olds. His hand flapping has basically stopped/ replaced with clapping( but doesnt do it for no reason just happy) He also does continue to spin(and walk side ways, arms out, looks out side eyes etc) but at least now its less, and I know why hes doing it, basically saying Im done here! hes saying im tired, too many people, stressed. He does it at bed/nap times, though he has done it in group of kids too. People try to tell me " kids do that for fun" but I know thats not it, he isnt laughing etc, and happens in same situation every time.( if he stays up past bed time he'll spin a lot etc)
He doesnt really engage kids as such, but hes 2, he will chase and follow them though. He still doesnt get boundries, or strangers.
With autisimspectrum its a delay so Im still unsure if hes on it, all I know is theres a lot more things out there to look into and to help your child with the issues you know you can help with now.
I do know sensory issues and language disorders can be with children autisic or completely "normal" children. But i feel I understand him more. And am just so happy hes willing to share and is starting to share.
i still have developmental evaluation in future, so ill have to wait till then. Some of my bigger worries are disappearing, the sharing etc. Now we are working on his language disorder I just want him to understand (comprehension) and start answering / questions lol
Thanks again all! Ill update in the future!**Edit
Here is the jist! When my son was 18 months old, he didn't pass the "check":he didn't point, speak, or respond to his name.Didn't understand instructions,
didn't give eye contact. He is so happy! and smiley though! Finally went to a developmentalist when he was 18 1/2 months old. He said byebye,ball, d, but stopped! She said he had a language delay, but my son is so 'happy' 'social' . But if my son does have any problems I'd like him to get any help he needs now!
I'd appreciate it so much if anyone could look at his video and tell me if this looks like PDD NOS. I'm tired of people telling me"Hes just finE my kid did that" Maybe he is completely fine..but I'm sense he has issues.
My son is now 21 months(here) in the past 2 weeks he has started pointing!(all my work has payed off!) He looks at me when I call him half the time! Sometimes gives eye contact. He doesnt do joint attention, he spins himself, flaps his hands, he can say about 3 steady words, more , byebye, and d. His entire vocabulary Is maybe 16 words.
If we move from one toy to another he'll have a mini tantrum, But I'm not sure if this is because of his language delay?He doesnt like to be hugged and confined, he will scream and move away slowl, yet he's so loving! when he wants he'll come over to me for a hug. He backs up into me, instead of looking at me, he'll go backwards and then sit in my lap, or when we hug he burries his head into my shoulder. :(
He paces, over and over, but now he sits down more. If he stresses over something he sticks out his arms and does this stiff back and forth thing.
He brings things to me, if he wants me to fix it, open the jar etc, he grabs my hand and puts it on things he can't do. He uses my finger to point to pictures in a book.
Every day he does spin himself, just not obsessively. and he has lined up cars(he doesn't have many toys out but if i put out a ton of cars he'll line them up) but i think any kid would do that.
Thank you so much for reading this and I appreciate it soo very much! I really feel he is different, which is fine, but i want to know others see it too not just me overreacting.and if every kid does these things...I love the ASD signs website, it shows "atypical" and asd, and he does seems like the asd kids.
My son is a picky eater, sometimes says tanku when i say it, and he gives me his cup if he wants juice , now that

I keep watching your videos to give some guidance (i have a 10 year old autistic son)..again I see lots of red flags....BUT, its a good thing that he likes TV so much, and that he can focus on it...you can use lots of media outlets to help him learn...computer games, IPAD, etc....you've got to get to him while he's so young..it will make a big difference....

I am a early childhood teacher and a mental health specialist. Spinning, speech delay, no eye contact, ignoring are all signs of autism. You should go get him tested early to make it easier on the both of you in the future. There are orgainization for autistic children. He is not less of a person, just different and unique.
