Feeling fed up

I would definitely get a speech therapist, but especially if you think he is autistic, I would try multi model communication, if you look it up it puts less pressure on words and more on reading his body language. I also started my kiddo on basic baby sign language and it works wonders. Start with 1-3 basic words in ASL “more” “want” “potty” whatever you think he will pick up. And it skyrockets from there

Narrate everything all the time, whatever you're doing, touching, playing with, passing him, say what it is, what colour it is.

I will scream from the roof for all peoples kids who arent saying anything before 2 yrs. 100% ask for a early intervention referral from the pediatrician. My son was only saying 2-4 words by the time he was 2. He has been in speech therapy since he was 18 months old and now hes 3.5 yrs old. He is finally starting to talk in full sentences and not 1-2 word replies. I also know someone from my old job who's son is turning 3 this month and they refuse to put their son in speech until hes 4 and he only knows how to grunt for what he wants he doesnt even say any words and you can already tell hes super behind compared to a talking 3 yr old.

Thank you I will have a look xx

If it’s any consolation my niece (only child) couldn’t speak properly or many word literally till the day she turned 5. The minute she turned 5 she started saying coherent sentences. My sister tried speech therapy but for the most part had faith in time xx

He had a young brother but we talk to him all the time 30 minutes before each or after each meal we try just words and we go to group each week I think it more he wants to talk but can’t he gets really aggressive with himself and younger brother xxx

My son didnt talk until he was like 3. I put him in speech therapy and the lady just pushed him to talk "you need to talk." So we never went back after that. I always said if he doesnt want to talk, I wont make him. He will when hes ready. Now he never stops talking and hes almost 7. I thought he was autistic as well, but now hes really doing awesome. He had a speech delay and receptive language disorder. He doesnt see anyone. I homeschool him and work with him. Hes honestly learned more from me than anyone else

Definitely ask to switch health visitors, my sons 10 months old and my health visitor has already noticed and agreed with me that there is definitely autism traits that hes showing. Not surprising as there is autism and adhd on both sides of the family however id definitely speak to a doctor if your really concerned and try to get a referral through them!!
