Still wondering....

[momofcutie]

My son is 28 months and does 2 things that still make me wonder. He flaps once in awhile, usually when really mad or really excited. I would say a few times a week. He also tip toe walks...again once in awhile but not all the time. He also likes to take a blanket and lay face down on the floor and almost grind his pelvis on the floor. Not sure if this is just a boy thing and it feels good or something more. His speach is great and getting better. Makes great eye contact. Is consitently saying MaMa..Mama..Mama..when he wants my attention or to show me something...in the care is really bad! He loves to tell me when he sees a bird, big truck, pond etc! It's funny! He is very smart with letters, numbers and animals. We saw a deer the other day and I told him to look at the deer and he was convinced it was a kangaroo!!! So everything else he does is normal for his age. He likes to be held...definaly not as much as before but he is much to busy for that mushy stuff I guess! Any suggestions if I should be worried? Let me know if you need any more background!

You're a pain in the ***

Just make sure he is reaching his milestones.
Raise any concerns you have when you see the Health Visitor/Paediatrician.
He is just at that age when he should be becoming more social.
The things you mention are on a scale.  All kids can do them, they are not an indicator of autism by itself.  My son rarely flaps or toe walks, infact I have seen perfectly typical kids demonstrate more flapping/spinning/toe walking than my son.
From your post I just don't see enough stuff to make me wonder.
He sounds like he is chatting and interacting with you which is great.
No idea about the blanket and pelvis grinding.  Guess he must just like the sensation.

arm flapping is just a sensory stimulation.  Many kids do this.  If he is talking and interacting with other children socially, I wouldn't be concerned.  You could always bring up these things with his pediatrician.  I think you probably already went in for his 24 month checkup and the next probably isn't until 36 months?  You could always make a phone call or ask the questions during his next sick visit if he has one in the next couple months.

Reading your post your son sounds like a normal 2 year old he is doing all the things 2 year old do, what is it you are worrying about,a lot of children Flap thier arms and tip toe ,its  a game , if there are other persones making you feel there is something wrong and it has made you anxious ask your Doctor , the laying on the floor could he be copying another child he has seen do this. Enjoy him.
