  1. Hi, I am new here, I'm not even from the uk but I couldn't find any boards in my area of the world, hope no one minds. I have a 16 month old who has just recently regressed in many areas and raising red flags for us as parents. Before I get into it,yes he is a twin and no I'm not comparing them to each other, I am comparing his behaviours and certain things now to what they have been previously. My son was starting to talk really well, he was saying mummy daddy and his brother,sisters and auntys names thank you, hello, birdy, hoothoot (the name of a favorite cartoon bird) he was pointing and waving (please do not take this as me boasting, please!) any way, he has lost it all, he was using everything in context and at the right time. He was born premature and low birth weight due to intrauterine growth restriction. He has always been small, but always been very independent and never stays still. About 2 months ago he became very withdrawn, non active, not his usual happy self, we assumed he was coming down with something as he is always catching virus' due to his low immune system. He then stopped talking and we thought he may have had a sore throat? But we started getting concerned when he didn't come down with anything and his vocab hadn't returned after weeks later. He has stopped waving goodbye to daddy from the door or gate, and doesn't show interest when he returns from work. He used to give kisses and cuddles whenever we asked but now it's a battle and if he isn't wanting anything to do with us he lashes out. He is happy to be carried around in our arms but won't sit on our lap or have a cuddle when we sit/squat to his level. When he is vocal its repetitive in sounds and movements but also sometimes very alert and can give eye contact on his terms. His tantrums are crazy and result in biting and hitting himself and others. He can break into all the baby safety locks and throws kitchen ware everywhere. We are waiting for an appointment which the paed had to cancel last week, unsure when it will be rescheduled to, so I am wondering if anyone has any advice of how I can adjust myself, our family and home to help my son feel more comfortable? Even if he isn't diagnosed with anything I know he is different in needs from my other 3, and I want to accommodate his needs and am trying to be a good mum! My heart is breaking for him!
