Hi, My son is 3 and verbal. Can communicate in small sentences. Recognizes and can write all the alphabets, can write number till almost 30-40. Knows all basic colours, recognizes and makes animal noises, recognizes almost all daily use things, fruits, veggies. Does pretend play at times. Responds to his name, has good eye contact. The only thing we notice is that he copies other kids a lot (including their actions) and at times copies us. He loves puzzles, loves to write and scribble and colour, loves playdough activities and can sit and do it for long. He is super friendly and can socialize. He is in Nursery and yesterday his teacher (during the open house) told us that he is moody, and answers only when he wants, talks when he wants, she also said he has shown some improvement and at times surprises them with his answers. They had a health check up at school and who ever was the visiting person wrote that he does not respond to his name, does not follow commands and echolalia (which the teacher said that it was written by the person only basis the few mins). She tells us, he is not a special child but he might be a slow learner. Which we fail to understand because he learns things so fast, he even sings songs and not just rhymes but movie songs and shlokas. The teacher suggested we take the help of the counsellor they have in their school. I am very stressed, what do I do. Get him assessed? How to get him to stop copying other kids so much?
