Hi all, it has been 6 months since my last post. Just to share on my son's progress. He is now able to label things. He can point and name animals, objects, colours, knows all alphabets and numbers. Speech therapist mentioned that he is progressing. However these labelling are non functioning and we need to teach him more functioning words so that he is able to communicate to people. When he request things, he usually pull our hands to the object. We will prompt him to say \"i want xxx\". He is still unable to request on his own unless we prompt or cue him and we are still working on that with him. He has improved his eye contact however he is still unable to maintain the eye contact when he is talking. When he says \"I want milk\". The eye contact is only at the word \"i\" and the eye will sway away. One behaviour, not sure usual or not for other kids: He is obsessed with a book, he can recite the whole story again and again for very long can be up to an hour or so. Sometimes when we are outside and the book is not with him, he will want us to draw out the pictures in the book on paper and he will recite the story. When we are at the library, not sure how he managed to find that book and he will sit there and read only that book. However this is not causing any problem to us so we let him be. He has very bad tantrums too, when he didn't get what he wants he will scream cry and roll on the floor. I still have not has a way on how to deal with his tantrum. But overall, we see improvement in him

Hi your son sounds just like my 22 month old boy. May I check how is your son now?
