Feels my 1.5 year old has autism. Very difficult to make him look in my eye, doesnt listen when called by his name. Doesnt speak yet. Does that look like symptoms? What can i do about it? I am shattered reading all the articles on google and what future holds for him. How do i know if he is level1,2 or 3? Any help/insight appreciated.

Hello. I’m sorry to hear your fears. In hopes that you hear good findings from professional advice and testing. I have though, met wonderful nonverbal autistic children. But one of the other traits many exhibit are walking on their tiptoes and throwing tantrums. If any child is tested as nonverbal, a device for communication is provided with pictures for child to choose and communicate very well. Funny story: One child that I had in preschool wanted chips all day. So to start her out , only a few favorite objects were put on the device. Such as chips, trampoline, drink. A week later bathroom was added along with yes, no and a few others. She learned “no” faster than any other word, just like any toddler would do. It always made me laugh when she used it because she hated going to the bathroom. I know your fears are exasperating. I hope I didn’t say anything that is more hurtful.

Having a kid w/ ASD is life altering, and it’s about taking things one step at a time especially because symptoms are on a spectrum. Getting lots of help early on normalizes things.

i had my canadian pr last year but didn’t do the landing since covid hit. the deadline passed of course and the immigration office reached out to check if i’m still interested and if so i should re-do a medical. assuming my medical goes through and my pr is processed and accepted again, does anyone know if landing is still a thing? my original plan was to do a landing and move after 2 years. is this still possible or does canada basically want you to move in a year or so after pr is granted?
