Was your kid a late talker? ~24 months?

So my son was diagnosed with autism around 2 years old he mimics some words like he can say mama and dada and or nana but he can’t put sentences together after 24 months he wasn’t talking either

We were delayed but not to that extent. Currently using 3 word sentences

Yea I try to work with him every day he’s in ot and pt

Autism and language delay are separate issues. Many people think language delay always means autism but unless there are other issues as well, social issues, repetitive behaviors, sensory issues, etc..: then the two are not likely related I have two children with autism. One who did not have language delay, one who did until almost 3 and is a gestalt language professor and then my middle son who does not have autism but does have a significant language delay and is also a gestalt processor. My eldest son is actually hyperverbal and was speaking at 15 months. Definitely, definitely has autism… and adhd Anyway, neurodevelopment is complicated so I wouldn’t stress yourself out.
