Hi, I'm new as well!

Sad to hear of the problem with your lad. I hope that you get a quick diagnosis of whatever his dificulties are. We didn't have anyone listening to us for years as paediatrician felt that many of the communication problems were just bad behaviour! Always remember that YOU know your child better than any of the experts!

Hi I am LeAnn and I also have a 2 year old that has recently been diag. with autsim. He has severe behavioral problems and doesn't sleep well at night either. He loves to bite pinch and scratch other kids and he is very delayed in speech. He loves to smell different things (major sensory problems) !! He loves to repeat everybody (eholalia)and has difficulty with transitions. I know your desperate to find out an answer and there are really good people on here that can help.

Nice to meet you

LeAnn
