My 18mo old does not want to respond to name, but responds to simple direction, is affectionate, says a few words & signs, social...shld be evaluated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: But would need far more information, since teen agers, even at 18 yrs. Can do strange things. If you think there are reasons to do so, it will never hurt to have them seen by a clinical psychologist and evaluated, but at 18 they are also considered adults and can obvious refuse your well intentioned efforts.
