Hi runnermum

Your little boy sounds gorgeous... you paint a lovely picture of him.

Although neither of my kids has Aspergers, my daughter's friends from her SEDC (special ed developmental centre) have various "levels" of Autism. My daughter has a speech delay, and attends the centre two half days a week for therapy.

She has gone through a lot of assessment in the past two years, and for her, there's no simple answer. But the early intervention and therapy has been a God-send for us. She is the opposite of your little one in terms of words and vocab... at 2 yrs she had no words, and by 3 she only had some. Now at 4 and a half, she has caught up to the vocab of a 3 and a half year old, so I'm really proud of her effort so far.

I know there are probably other parents on these boards whose child/ren do have ASD. i hope they come and share their stories.

Best of luck with the assessment process.
