Global Developmental Delay/ Autism.

Ashley

Recently my son was evaluated by a psychologist for Autism. His psychologist and the speech therapist both think he does not have Autism, and he was given a baseline diagnosis of Global Developmental Delay. For me, I struggle every day with the diagnosis. I often question whether they got it right, and if there’s still a chance he’s Autistic. He’s two years old and still has no words (he lost his words around one year) he does not point, and makes eye contact on his terms. I try so hard to get him to sit and focus but he is just so resistant despite all my effort. Some things he understands, but mostly he just hears us talking and isn’t retaining anything. I love him so much, and I want so badly for him to just grow and catch up to his peers.. but the more days that pass by with barely any progress, the more I feel like he will never get there. Does anyone else feel like this?
