My grandson is 2yrs old. Has not yet said a word. Tried to teach him mama and more and dada. If he wants something like a raisen and you tell him to say more he walks away to another room and crys. I've read all the symptoms of autism and feel this is not his problem. He is loving and makes eye contact but often just lays on the floor and looks down if he soesn't get his way. Should I be concerned? Thanks for any information.


This discussion is related to 2 year old behavior.

Yes you should be concerned-- not using any spoken language by 2 is a delay that warrants investigation by a medical professional. It can be a symptom of many things-- including just a plain old speech delay that has no other consequences.

But to find out, you should contact his pediatrician for either a thorough evaluation of the situation and/or a referral to a developmental specialist.
