My only boy who has just gone 3 has not developed as you should have in terms of his communications skills. While he has plenty of words he has not got the language or the ability to formulate sentences.
We have been to various people for him to be assessed both publicly and privately and it pretty much looks at this stage that we are staring down the barrel of autisim. Albeit a very mild form. Now I'm ok with this in the sense that at least I know what we are working with and therefore can put together some sort of a structure to help him get on his way.
Apart from the communication he is a perfect happy and healthy little boy. Very affectionate and a lil gem.
Has anyone had experience with this before? Any advice/suggestions etc? Obviously our main worry is what does this mean for the rest of his life - will he be able to have a normal life etc?
Any info provided would be great.
