hi,
My youngest Freddy is 2.5, a gorgeous little boy who has some problems.
He has GDD (global developmental delay), wasn't sitting until he was 11 months, didn't walk until almost 20 months, still can't hop, skip or jump. He also has speech and communication delay, maybe 5-6 words and has some unusual behaviours including poor eye contact, no interest in children his own age, stimming (headbutting me in the stomach), does not react to his own name, does not sleep at night, poor attention span etc, etc.
But the issue that is really getting to me is his obsession with peeling off stickers and eating them along with peeling gloss paint off of window sills and doors and eating it. Does anyone else have a similar issue, and if so do you have any advice on how I can somehow stop him from doing this?
A little more background, he's been seeing a paed since he was 7 months, sees SLT, got appointment for PT, is on waiting list for ASD assessment (6 month wait) and starts pre-school in Sept.
