Talk to your pedi about early intervention therapy. It is most of the time free therapy for your child. It was very helpful to us. Helped a lot with speech and motor skills! At the very least it's a free evaluation to find out if your child is meeting his milestones. Good luck!

for me my doubt for that autism on him is when his playing always repeating and delay on speaking...autism or adhd because when im asking him for something to get he follows and knows it..so for me i think its not autism but yeah im sending him on speech therapy

I would suggest speech theraphy, and they will pick it up if there is a problem. are the flash cards easy print for him to read and are they everyday common words .
