So, earlier this year we moved and our 16 month old stopped talking. She was developing normally before that, walked early, talked early, was very social. We’ve moved 4 times since she was born and the last move was the only one where she was more aware, it was a bit traumatic for her I think, because we had to stay in a tiny hotel room for a couple weeks while my husband graduated tech school and she was very, very stressed. We have her in speech therapy and it’s helping a lot in certain areas but I’m just so stressed and scared and I cry almost every night because I’m afraid there’s something wrong and I can’t help her.She’s going to see a developmental pediatrician soon (there’s a waiting list for about 6 months), so I’m trying to just keep going until then but I’m exhausted, I spend 24/7 with her and I’m trying so hard but the progress seems to be moving at a snails pace.I’ve brought up the subject of autism to her speech therapist, her early intervention specialist, and pretty much anyone I can but no one can say for sure because she doesn’t show any of the other signs and she did well on her MCHAT. I just have to wait for the developmental pediatrician, I feel like all I do is wait and I’m tired and burnt out and I feel terrible all the time. She’s happy pretty much all the time so I know I’m not doing anything wrong, I just feel like I’m not doing enough.Does anyone else have any advice or know of a similar situation? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2fWVR1U
