Social interest is a good sign. Parallel play is a good sign (and, at two, most kids still mostly parallel play - that goes on for a while) - it sounds like he has some good social interest and emerging skills that, whether autistic or not, will help him with his development in years to come. It's a good thing, no matter how you look at it :)I think it is excellent that he was doing this. I have gone through many stages of feeling like what is going on with this kid? And the next thing I know I am doubting that I have anything to worry about. I have seen many parents post the same thing. Just take things one day at a time and absorb the good days with full force impact. Worrying takes a lot more effort and you don't want to miss those sweet little special times.HI all
Ok here it is
Yesterday i took all the kids to this African celebration.My DD who is in the last stages of testing (his test date is sept 20) had a blast there he was going up to everyone and saying HI and BYE to everyone and everything.He was playing along side all the kids (not playing with them) and just never acted the way he did there at home or anywhere else.So i guess i'm just feeling like he was acting normal for once, and i guess it just had me thinking that maybe i am wrong about it. He still had fits and would not play with them. I guess it was the going up to people that he has never meet and saying HI and BYE.Sorry for being so long,just wanted to know if anyone else has had this happen and is it a good sign or what?
Interestin othe people is a GREAT thing its just an excellent sign
I would be very excited..he sounds very typical for 2 yrs. old. Mine never said hello or goodbye unless we prompted her too and she was well over 3-4 years old..He sounds very social but if he is adversive to playing it could be his lack of speech..zone in on helping that and the rest will fall into place..he is not shy and he has some social skills:)
Whether autism or speech delay you would still get him help so keep doing what you are doing:) I would feel very optimistic..get him speech therapy and with peers either in a mother's day out program or half day program 3x a week to really perk his language up:) SO happy for you! Thank you all so very much.I am very happy on what he did.
