My son is 5, diagnosed with autism and global developmental delay.
I don't know what to do about this problem my son has at the moment. He will say something. "Look at my spiderman" I will reply "that's a lovely Spider-Man" he will reply. "Don't like that's a lovely Spider-Man"
He will ask for some food. Give him said food. He will say don't like said food. Put it down, pick it up and have it quite happily.
But it's the speech thing that's wearing me out. He will say "don't like...." To whatever is replied to him. And I can't ignore this as he must says it louder and louder till I say "ok, sorry, you don't like....it doesn't matter"
It is CONSTANT.
He still doesn't converse. Everything he says is just a statement iyswim.
He is having dreadful meltdowns as well. And he never ever stops. I actually don't know when he would go to sleep if I didn't actually physically make him go to bed.
