Hi Laks & Shanvy, Hope you guys are doing good!! First, very sorry for a long delay and leaving this thread in halfway. I had to share so many things about my son but i just dwelt on my new problems.

I spoke to few drs. who were specialised in speech therapies and developmental delays but for some reason it was not of much help there. So now we are back in USA for good and that way my son would get assessment & therapies asap.

Coming to my son, he is NOT Spinning wheels, NOT Starring at lights and fans, NOT walking on toes he just stopped everything 4 moths back so that's good about him.

He just started saying 2 words and obsessed with certain numbers and alphabets that he frequently keep saying it whenever he feels to.

Laks, as u said, i tried to divert his attention whenever he wanted to spin the wheels or wants to switch lights on/off that helped a big way. Thanks a lot for it. For ex. Whenever he wanted to spin the wheels of the car, i would interrupt and show him how to use car as a toy. Will give one car to him and one with me and would take turns in playing. This way he now totally forgot spinning wheels and just using car as CAR toy.

And daily i use flash cards of first baby words and make him sit atleast for 5 min and quickly read the words for him and show him pictures. This way now he is able to identify about 5 to 7 cards. if i say ball, he would pick up that card to me and also mimics baa.. thats so cute part

He is now able to recognize all the alphabets and place it on magnetic alphabet board on the right place and he excels in all the puzzles i give in my ipad. Fruits veggies numbers vehicles colors anything he does it like a pro.

Now 3 things which causes me to worry is..

1. lack of response when i call him.. 50% of the time he does not look at me when i call his name.
2. When i point he rarely look at the pointed place.
3. Not getting involved with other children in park

Laks, Any idea how to train him on that.

I have taken him to pead for 2 yr check up last month and she is concerned about him for not speaking and pointing yet. Also, asked me to contact early intervention. Im doing it and hope we will get a coordinator in a month or so. Not sure how long i have to wait.

I will be keep posting the updates of my son so that it could be of some help to others who are searching for information on the same subject.

Laks and Shanvy many many thanks to you both for being so supportive & informative during my bad phase.
