I have two sons. My DS5 is HG and has had a few behavioral issues in the past but is doing well in K this year. He has a great teacher. He was a very typical gifted kid and he talked very early and we conversed with him when he was two.
My other DS2.5 is way behind in talking. He has never put two words together. He has some words and I know he is bright. He can identify and name every letter of the alphabet, knows his numbers and some of his words are octagon and circle. I just had him evaluated by a speech therapist and we are waiting for the report. Today I read the book "The Enstein Syndrome" and while it gives me hope that he will eventually speak, I am also so worried that it is likely he will be four years old before I have a conversation with him.
I'm hoping to hear from a parent with a similar situation and ask if therapy helped. Our pediatrician immediately ruled out autism and other development issues. Our DS is very social and his hearing and ears checked out fine with the ENT.
Worried parents,
