3. Sensory stimulation⁣⁣
4. Access to desired items⁣⁣

Between 2.5 and 3 years, littles begin to engage in 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 (playing alongside, not necessarily with peers). Importantly, parallel play teaches your little to share space with other children while strengthening social awareness which ultimately should lead to more meaningful and complex play interactions. ⁣
⁣
☝🏾In order to engage in parallel play, your little must first be able to play with toys (the way they are intended to be used) independently, also known as solitary play. ⁣
⁣
🚨WHEN TO BE CONCERNED:⁣
🚫 reluctance with being near other kids ⁣
🚫 odd sounds/noises during play ⁣
🚫 hyper fixation on parts of a toy/object (wheels of car, flashing lights/buttons, etc)⁣
🚫 difficultly with eye contact ⁣
🚫 consistently more interested in a toy/object than people ⁣

If you’ve seen one person with autism, then you’ve seen one person with autism! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
While there are commonalities, the way in which ASD shows up is different for everyone. This is so important to remember when trying to determine whether your little person is displaying early signs that may not fit into the “classic” description box. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🚨 signs of Autism in early learners can also look like:⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 having a large vocabulary; but unable to use those words to make requests, gain attention, ask for help (functional communication)⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 giving affection; but on their terms. Doesn’t receive or avoids affection from others⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 interacts with others; but, doesn’t respect boundaries. Gets too close or too in your face⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 very vocal; but not with intent or directed towards others⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 enjoys books, but avoids being read to or fixated on certain pages/books/pictures in the book (likes to watch the pages as they quickly flip through them)⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 interacts with parents and objects; but uses caregivers hands to operate them⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 enjoys the sight of other kids; but watches from afar, difficulty initiating or responding to engagement⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 brings objects/items to caregiver; but generally for help and then will take back after fixed (gives objects but doesn’t look at caregiver during the exchange)⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 engages in conversation; but, gets stuck on specific topics (perseverates) or keeps going back to same subjects even when new topics are introduced⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 plays with a variety of toys; but in an atypical way (repeatedly lining objects up, pressing button to activate lights/sounds over and over, flipping cars over to play with wheels) struggles with imitating new ways to play with objects⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 responds to questions; but, with adult-like language or scripts from tv shows/movies (usually unable to adjust response if question is posed in a different way)⁣⁣⁣

Having realistic expectations about what your litt

Having realistic expectations about what your little can do at a certain age is critical! While true, every child grows and learns at their own pace, developmental milestones help us better understand how typical children develop. The key is to get your little the help they need as soon as you think there’s a problem.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Here are some important milestones to look for: ⁣
👉🏾smiles and coos by 3 months ⁣⁣
👉🏾babbling by 6 months ⁣⁣
👉🏾pointing out things in the environment and responds to their name by 12 months ⁣⁣
👉🏾use at least 25 words by 18 months⁣⁣
👉🏾initiates play with friends and responds when approached by others ⁣⁣
👉🏾combines words to make phrases by 24 months (mommy go)⁣⁣

HAVING words and KNOWING how to use those words in

HAVING words and KNOWING how to use those words in a meaningful way are two totally different things! ⁣
⁣
Some kids, specifically those on the spectrum or those showing signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder can often present with hundreds of words and labels that they may use to identify things in the environment (typically not on command when asked “what is this?”) but are unable to use those words to indicate basic wants and needs or to use those words to share information with others. ⁣
⁣
These kids are often looked upon as stubborn and not wanting to talk...but, in reality, they are just not yet able to use the words in a functional way and must be specifically taught through functional communication training. ⁣
⁣
There is also a segment of littles that have scripting behaviors (mirrored phrases)- repeating phrases/responses that one hears from others in conversation/movies/songs etc. and applies; but, not able to come up with a new response or change the response in a different context or when new information is given. ⁣
