Today my son got referred to a developmental pediatrician. Let’s get the ball rolling.

My son’s pediatrician basically came out today and said she doesn’t know if he’s on the possibly on the spectrum or just has a high IQ. My son(19 months) has little desire to communicate wants or needs. He has word but doesn’t use them often. He doesn’t point he’s a go getter.Last month, she had me take the m chart a few red flags appeared. She wanted us to follow up in a month to see his progress. Today, my husband came to the appointment and we talked about his behaviors in more detail. He doesn’t play. He seems nervous around children his age but loves other children and adults. He likes the figure out how things work. When he plays with his truck the only toy he likes. He likes the open and close it. His lil ATV he needs to know how the wheels spin.Originally she said let’s see where he is at 2 years. My husband didn’t come to the last appointment and elected to take the m chart. Red flags apparently went off. She came back into room and didn’t want to wait anymore. She sent out the referrals today. I’ve already been in touch with early intervention but all his doctors appointments and my issues are making it hard for me to find a good day and time for us to go up there and discuss things with them.He goes back in 6 weeks to continue monitoring his progress. I’m too the point where there’s nothing they can tell me that would surprise me. My little boy is prefect and has an amazing mind. The only reason I plan to continue is because I refuse for him to start kindergarten or even preschool and struggle because I did nothing. I don’t want anything about him to change but I want him to have the best life possible. He will be a great man. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Qbz9Aw
