Basically his communication skills are really behind for his age. He is almost 3 and a half and is still not able to have a conversation with either an adult or a child.
He does talk, and can label any object but isn't able to understand when things are explained to him such as 'Let me fix it then I will give it back'. Or 'You can have your juice when we go inside'. He just seems to chat to himself in his own little world and sings songs. Speach is very clear!
Not come across this before and not sure what to do. Certainly don't want to panic anyone but there is definitely a communication problem.
