2.5 year old doesn't talk
Hi my son is 2.5 years old and doesn't talk. Says momma and appa but I don't think he understands the meaning as he mumbles it whenever he likes..doesn't repeat after us. Doesnt follow a single step instruction. Always continues to do whatever he likes whether its dangerous for him or not. If we say no and take him away from stove he would go right back and tries to fight it. Would repeat it in a loop for 10-15 times until we distract him with something else..same for climbing on thjgs like climbing on Sofa headrests , dining table and kitchen coubtertops. I don't know whats going on..

My sons a bit the same. Speaks some words but does show signs of possible autism.
@Leema we took him for speech assessment and there is a delay. He is also in waitlist to be seen by a developmental Pediatrician. I speak a different language than my husband. My husband and his parents speak a different language and common language is English. So he definitely hears 2 others languages at home but we talk to him in English. Just frustrated that he doesn't get anything and its hard that we have to just keep walking behind him all the time so he doesn't hurt himself by falling down from sofa headrest, table etc..

So first question, is he bilingual?? Do you speak another language at the house?? Anyways, plz don’t worry, mine is 3 and he only started talking now after going to preschool! I was so worried about him not speaking that I took him to a team and they assessed him and they said he was fine! So I wish I didn’t worry that much! Also, if he is in fact bilingual every word in every language counts, you don’t count the same word as 1! If he’s not and you’re still worried, just look for a speech delay assessment in your county or schools nearby, it’ll give you some peace of mind Hope that helps 🤗
