Ds is 5 and has gdd, functioning at around 2 or 3 year old level. His language is doing great and his understanding is coming on. Every aspect of learning is hard won as you would expect but sometimes I do wonder whether his development is typical of other children with gdd. We live on a farm, he loves animals yet he still can't consistently name common farm animals or do the correct noises. He's putting 4 or 5 words together yet he said the sheep were cows today (he loves cows). This is just one example of many gaps and confusions. I don't know but I kind of imagined that if he was globally delayed to such and such an age then he would be functioning across the board at this level. My 18 month old dd is more reliable at animal noises than ds is? He just seems a bit of an enigma to me...was wondering what others experiences were.
