Keep an eye on his expressive and receptive language abilities, and how he relates to peers, and explores the toys. Perhaps he's a terrible sleeper at night at home, but keep your eyes open.
He doesn't say one word all day, other than Mommy sometimes. He doesn't often make eye contact either. If I ask him to do something I have to ask him three or four times.
