now there is an alarm bell going off in my head reading that hon.

Having a child on the spectrum who was aware of things beyond his years with gadgets it really does make them go off big time.

go to your health nurse hon and get a referal

Oh Maz i'm panicking now! can you please tell me more?

what i mean is that, you know little wooden puzzle pieces, they have a tiny knob you grab to put them in the hole... well ds2 can turn these to adjust the piece to fit in the hole, (sorry to compare again) but my Ds1 didn't do that until recently i think! Um other things like light switches, again little knobs that hold shelves together he can turn and pull them out.... um trying to explain it but my mind has gone blank.... okay putting shapes in to the shapo - he's really good at this - again comparing Ds1 could never manage that, um still think he struggles a bit... what i'm saying is DS2 seems really co-ordinated hand wise, i guess foot wise too, he can slip gum boots on, DS2 still needs help.

Are the above things "normal" for 20 months... should i be looking at other things rather than just the speech delay. I don't know what to look for?
