Hello everyone.
I, as many parents have so many questions, but I can never get any help.
Short story- escaped and left Canada for Mexico during covid for political reasons, and we left with my 4 year old and 2 year old sons.
My 4 year old, I have never been able to get him any help, during covid was exceptionally impossible really.
He’s a very happy 4 year old boy. Sweet, not violent, very quiet and content.
He has never spoken “sentences”, more like like “scripted speech” where he just repeats things we see on education shows etc. never a “hi daddy” or “hi mommy”.
BUT he will say things!! He will say “cold” if the water is cold or he is cold, or “pee” if he has to pee. He can count perfectly, to 100, he can spell words, he knew his alphabet early, but with real context. He understands everything I say to him, follows instruction , and has made big improvements on his own.
Things like eye contact, all the time not an issue anymore. Plays perfectly with kids, gentle and sweet. Prefers to play by himself but loves playing with kids when he wants to.
He just will not speak proper context sentences. My 2 year old is further along than him with this.
I know there’s something wrong, and I know he gets it from me because I am the same way. adult, never diagnosed but very clear. (Obsessed with numberes/Time/enjoys only solo things, hates being in social environments, but can force it fine etc)
I just don’t know what to do for my boy. He loves his school, he really enjoys it and is super happy but there is no help or resources for us here.
So here I am, to try and Learn, answer questions and ask questions. I love my so. So much and he’s so sweet, I just need to know HOW to help him.
Thank you for reading this
