Guest guest Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Hello everyone, my son is 4.5 years old. I'm Canadian but we live in Japan. was late speaking and at 2.6 years I started to worry about autism. In our house we speak in English but daycare and now kindergarten is in Japanese. The doctors said that he had good eye contact, was engaging and that it was just a bilingual thing. Last check-up 2 months ago the doctor said he may have aspergers but was too soon to diagnos. The main reason the doctor thought of aspergers was, when became excited he clapped his hands. This is very stressful for my husband and I because there is nothing around us to help. We wanted to get help from the city hall for speech and language but were blocked by this undiagnonsis. I recently started to worry about teaching my son about boundries and strangers. I am soooo out of my depth I have no clue. But my son can't make conversation yet. He just tells us but can't really answer so I'm not sure how to help him learn. It seems like everyone on here has kids who can communicate well. Does anyone have any advice for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
