tadamama That sounds like my son for the most part. It sounds like your son is on target for the most part...for my son to be 3 however and have the vocabulary of the average 1 year old, is something different. My son also pulls me around grunting trying to show me...

tadamama I just mentioned that to someone else...that is what the therapist diagnosed him with at the beginning, but there was NO way that was it! Based on what I have researched it sounds like your girls just might. I think it is good to have them tested just to be...

tadamama Was it selective mutism(sp?)? They tried to diagnose my son with that...but with that, they speak well at home and refuse to talk in social settings, or around strangers! NOT my son at all...he does not talk well anywhere, and had I not looked into it more,...
