i have a 2 1/2 yr old baby boy who is not talking any words yet, except for amma and very rarely he says appa.he is usually very hyperactive & restless,throws toys,keeps playing all day long,impatience to wait,loves to run from one room to another, less concentration,does no follow instructings,observes & learns on his own,eye contact is less when we try to make him sit and teach him,does not turn & look all the time whenever we call him by name....could these symptoms be just because of hyperactivity of the child or could there be any other reasons?pls advice..
Hi, If all other milestones are gained normally, we need not worry much. Isolated delay in speech is a somewhat common problem in child Chat Doctor.  But we need a basic evaluation to rule out other co-existing conditions like autism, as he is having some other behavioral issues also. Also, speech therapy might help him. Hence, kindly see a pediatrician. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
