I am really concerned about my daughter. At 22 months she doesn't speak, other than saying 'momma' when in distress. But we aren't really sure she is asking for my wife. She makes a lot of nonsense noise, using all of the vowels and such.


She doesn't seem to play like other children. She lines up her toys in very neat rows, but doesn't really 'play' with them. We are so afraid that she has a development issue, but are not sure how to tackle it. We just don't have the money for a specialist at this point.


We made the drastic mistake of buying her tons of Disney movies, and allowing her to watch them. She doesn't seem to pay attention to us in any way, and will look past us at the TV even when it isn't on. Trying to read to her seems to bore her and she moves on in a few minutes to something else.


I was hoping to hear from you other parents with your thoughts, and ideas.
