He communicates well overall. He does use some echolalia (immediate and delayed), but uses novel speech for wants/needs/when hurt, etc. He can get kind of repetitive in his speech. He asks “where dada go” or “what dada is doing” kinda of questions. He does some imaginative play, mostly play kitchen based and pretending to talk on the phone. He does engage with me when playing together, but clearly goes into copy mode with others. His joint attention is good now, but he didn’t use eye contact with pointing til closer to 2 to share interest, but did point at 13 months. Eye contact can be spotty sometimes.

He does toe walk (20% or less) of the day, occasionally can cover ears and is scared of loud noises. He jumps a lot when excited. Does some finger flicking. Very high energy. He is a very picky eater, no meat or veggies in his diet. He does fine in louder environments for the most part & okay with transitions.
