Guest guest Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hi, my child (undiagnosed) is 2.5. He has tons of language, but uses it strictly for labeling, commenting on actions as they are happening, or requesting food and toys. He also has a delay in pretend play and interest in peers. There are a few other mild areas that are spectrum-like as well (vocal stimming, repetitive play, low joint attn, and low attachment to parents). Can anyone explain whether at this early age the theory of mind (empathy) and the language that goes along with it can be 'taught', or will it come on its own as he matures? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
