Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 My son is 22 months old and nonverbal.He has about 10 signs and pointing what he wants.We had to teach him pointing, though.My son cannot smile, but make the sound of a smile. He laughs, but when he laughs too much, his face looks like he is crying.He has weak muscle tone.His right side seems weaker than his left side.When he was an infant , we went to a neurologist,but she didn't see any neurological problem, and refused to do MMR.He has a a wide based gait , especially when he is trying to walk faster.He follows one step commands, and seems to understand us.He can show all of his body parts, and points to some pictures when we ask him to do.He is a very picky eater, and cannot tolerate textured food yet.He is getting therapies from Early Intervention.When I ask the therapists and his developmental pediatrician what his problem is , they say " it is a combination of things " they cannot give me a definitive answer.I wonder your personal opinions about my son.Thank you...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I think you should consider reading " Disconnected Kids " . This book tells you how to exercise the different sides of the brain so that they will connect more and communicate with each other. The doctor specifically mentioned some things that really caught my attention - for you, it would be his preference for using his right side. The book is on its way to me, I will tell you what I get from it later on. > > My son is 22 months old and nonverbal.He has about 10 signs and pointing what he wants.We had to teach him pointing, though.My son cannot smile, but make the sound of a smile.
