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 !
