My son is almost three and is the only child right now . He’s lazy with his talking but he knows his abc counts to 20 knows shapes animals sounds the list goes on. He even sings nursery rhymes it isn’t always clear but he’s smart ! He puts together 2 and 3 word sentences , when he’s fussing and not using words I correct it . He has a stomach bug so I took him to his doctors office yesterday and he didn’t talk he was cranky from already waiting 15 minutes for the doctor . She said she was alarmed because he wasn’t talking and that kids who are on the “spectrum” make noises only . Lol and when I told her all that he can do she was shocked which I took offense to , he’s sick and irritated he knows he’s at the doctor lady this is the last place he wants to be ! I just hate this stigma now a days on parents that if someone doesn’t hear ur child speak or act a certain way they automatically think the worst outcome ! He’s already been evaluated twice and passed . 🙄I just needed to vent !
Don't let her get to you. She may be a doctor but she doesn't know better than you as his mother. I hate the fact that people are quick to jump on the Spectrum crap. No doctor ever tried to say anything about my daughter but if they did I would have laughed in their face
@franny.93 some kids know how to do and say all these things we think they should do and say and just choose not to. One of my old neighbors had a kid who just didn't talk. When she did she would whisper and it was just a word or two. A month later she just started talking like it was nobody's business and there's no way she went from Whispering a couple of words to talk it in full-blown sentences a month. She just preferred to sit back and watch and then one day decided she had enough.
I would b offended too!!
