My son is being evaluated for Autism/Sensory Processing Disorder His speech therapist he had in Idaho said he could have the high functioning Autism. He is 26 months.
He always needs something going on with his mouth. (Biting, putting his fingers in his mouth, blowing random raspberries, overly kissing animals, licking, etc.)
He can give eye contact but not for very long a lot of the time.
Does not wave bye bye or Hi
He WAS non verbal but now says some small words but has a hard time pronouncing the first letters like he will say "I" for HI "oggy" for Doggy, etc. He only has about 5-6 small words in his vocab.
He doesn't really know how to really act around other kids. He is also very clingy on some days and others he doesn't wanna be touched
Picky Eater
He throws violent temper tantrums and sometimes he repeats his sign language for MORE.
Wanders without purpose
Runs and sometimes walks on tiptoes
Has seizures
Over active
clumsy
Doesn't respond to his name alot of the time
Stares at "nothing"
likes parts of things like spinning wheels
Puts picture frames with pics in them in straight lines
enjoys stacking cans when he has them
enjoys spinning around
hand flaps in front of his face (mostly when he doesnt want something)
over response to pain at times
purposely hurts himself like biting, pinching, pulling his hair
Doesn't quite understand when he is hurting someone
Also 2 weeks, we tried to get James to lie down on the living room floor with a sleeping bag and a big pillow from the couch. When we sat the pillow down on the floor he started trying to move it and crying and had a serious melt down and did his MORE sign repeatedly. Well, we tried it again another day....he did the same thing including the repeated MORE hand sign. My mom suggested maybe putting the big pillow BACK where it belongs and what do you know? James stopped crying!!! So, I guess he wanted it where it is SUPPOSED to be. He does the same thing if I bring my blanket out to the couch from my bedroom and I couldnt figure it out til now!
I am going to be getting him evaluated by an OT here soon, I already called the 1st Steps in my area and they are sending a referral over for him. So hopefully they can get him in soon!
