Hello Everyone
I am writing this long post maybe to get some advices some help!
First thing is health visitor and Gp has already refused to reffer him to peads as he is 18months
And second thing i am already on medication for my anxiety under my psychiatrist care
Ok so,i have got cute bubble 18months old,who was very very laughing and smiling baby from the start everyone used to say how friendly he is and he was literally i have never seen baby like him his over friendliness concerned me many times
Anyways, when he was 8months old i had to shift home and meanwhile that i came to know i was expecting and and that was a complete surprise i was having really rough patch that time
Tbh,i put him on tv for cocomelon and i got bussy with my sickness and had to be admitted many many times meanwhile it was all lockdown and my son was on cocomelon from morning till night while my husband was bussy on netflix and i was completely on bed
When he got 16months and i had a girl i all of the sudden started to think that there is some issue going on with him he was like kinda in his own world amd very very aggressive
I turned his screentime off rightaway,after 2 months i am writing here
Well, he doesn't point not to ask not to show he doesn't point AT ALL,how he let me know his needs? He ll go to table or kitchen and if he see something he will put his whole hand there and will screm while looking at me in a particular tone, when he play or see something new he looks at me with amazed eyes, not everytime but 50% of the time
Like if i am cooking he is sitting there and will look at me and will look at stove, he ll see something on tv he ll look at there and then look at me with amazed eyes
When he do hi five with anyone he looks back at me to get appreciation
If he do something wrong he ll look at me instantly for my reaction but still he doesn't point
He is non verbal only babbling and sometimes many sounds and jargon
He doesn't do pretend play but sometimes brush her sisters hairs or my hairs with brush or try to brush his hairs, when he is having bottle he ll try to give that in her sister's mouth but doesn't do pretend play (he has rarley seen us doing anything thanks to Covid we are home restricted from march and i have just starter to let him in my world from 2 months)
He know what is coming up like if he sees bottle he ll go on his bed, if i am having jacket he ll open a door for me
His receptive language is very poor i guess he only knows about water, bubbles, shoes, ball, bear, brush, car, dodo (milk) ,
He ll go and get shoes ball etc if i ask him to bring them, in his gestures he do hooray, hi five, clapping,hugs my legs and spread his arms to ask me to pick up
He is very social, like loves people and play with cousins if they come like running with them but if they start playing something like puzzles etc he ll not join them
He has no noise issues, but hand flaps in excitement
He put his lips of sister head like kissing but will hit her suddenly as well, he takes me where he wanta me to do something for him, sometimes will hide and touch me run and hide somewhere his style of asking me to play hide and seek, he get me things to play like remote to play car, ball to play with him throwing and catching with him, bubbles to make him bubbles i know he can be using me as a tool
But i have seen other kids i feel like he is not having a conversation with me like two way communication like if he is standing and i ask something or say something he wont just stand there look at me and gesture something instead he ll look at me and pass by
He didn't recognize his name but from 2 months when i turned his tv off he is recognising his name now and ll turn back when i call him
He plays appropriately with toys,and if you ask him where is mam he wont look at me
He takes very much interes in rhyme when i say wheels on the bus of round n round he ll start doing round round with hands, if i ask him where is eyes? He ll put my finger on my eyes instead of his
He loves to play peek a boo with me, and social games
I dont know what to do now, i have called for privatr speech therapy as well but no they are not accepting him, i am at my wits end
I cry myself to sleep DAILY with all this stress i want to run away somewhere and never return, i feel too bad that why did i let him watch tv at the first place i am having a feel for ASD or ADHDH as he is kinda hyperactive as well
Please please give some advices, pour some success stories if you had or having a kid like him who is delayed
Thank you
