I started walking at one year. My first words were spoken late, but I didn't speak in simple sentences until I was 3.5 years old. I was toilet trained at 3 years and 10 months.

I was 2, and the doctors were already worried. Then I was very late learning to ride a bike. SAme about learning to drive a car. And I still practically can't swim.

Between 12 and 14 months. About the same time I learned how to talk.

Walked at 10 months. Said nothing at all until my brother went to school (I was about 2). Then I just started talking nonstop.

According to my Baby Book, I started walking with assistance at 13 months, unaided at 14-1/2 months.

me, you will not believe it *drumroll* 5 1/2 to 6 years OLD yes you read right, i guess i became really close to getting put in a wheelchair or getting leg braces, being i remember being in a school were everyone else was using either crutches (them forearm type) KAYE reverse walkers or wheelchairs or braces (like forrest gump had, metal "callipers" as they call them in the uk) i walk fine now but still when i do it looks like i pooped myself. when i run it looks like im drunk and trying to run away from something scary.

This is totally off-topic, and I apologize for that, but did you know there is another person on WP who loves those door-closer things? It's Doro. Small world, eh?

I'm still not diagnosed, but I didn't start walking until 16 months, not because of poor motor skills apparently, but rather because I wasn't very motivated. I'm not terriblly clumsy, I did ballet as a kid and yoga as and adult. I learned to ride a bike at six. I still don't have a driver's license (too expensive) but I was quite good on a horse in my teens. I spoke relatively early, with additional made up words and was reading by 4 1/2. Potty-trained before three at least.

My autistic son started walking at 14 months, his speech is delayed now at 4 1/2 and he's still in diapers. He's a good climber an rides a tricycle, but can't catch a ball or dance to a rhythm.

I first walked at 2 years. As for the bike, well, I still have extremely bad coordination but I managed to ride a bike without training wheels in my mid teens. I don't think I could ride a bike these days though. I never learned to swim because I kept having nightmares about drowning, and large bodies of water is my biggest fear.

My mum said about 13-14 months. Strangely enough, I never crawled. I slid around on my bum & then one day just got up & started walking.

Because of my spastic diplegia, I didn't learn to walk until my 2nd birthday. I wear braces on my feet and sometimes use a wheelchair to get around large places. I started using a wheelchair in middle school because I couldn't get on and off the bus by myself. I rode a lift bus until I got out of high school.

I think I did walk late. I have/had coordination problems. I talked late as well complicated by the fact that I grew up with 2 languages being spoken. Normally this would not suggest NLD but the language issue may make a difference.
