Common Questions and Answers about Speech disorder list
speech
When my child was first assessed by Speech/Language professional she told me straight away that with that kind of speech problem it is usually autistic spectrum disorder eg. not understanding pronouns (I, me, you, she, he, his, hers, they, them etc); difference in receptive/expressive language (expressive language at age 7, receptive at age 3) and echolalia.
This person is only 22 years old and the episodes involves dizziness, speech difficulty, loss of balance, transient paralysis, and migraines. He has seen many doctors, including neurologists and none of them have been able to give him an idea of what it could be. He has been to the hospital several times and they said it was possibly a TIA, however, it keeps happening so I was just wondering if maybe you could suggest some things it could possibly be so he can ask his neurologist about it.
I have a very lengthy list of mental problems. I hope you will have the patience to read it.
1. I have been diagnosed with schizo affective disorder and am on medication (ziprasidone, clozapine and flouxetine)
2. I have difficulty in focusing my attention on external things and always seem to be preoccupied with my self
3. I experience physical pushes and pulls inside my brain and feel that something like a lump of energy is inside and is trying to break out. i am not able to control this
4.
You really need to get him seen by a doctor. Verbal apraxia can also create problems with speech. So can a language processing disorder or an auditory processing disorder. My sister had a form of that, not autism, and had to be in speech and language therapy through 5th grade. She later got straight As in high school and college. Therapy helped immensely.
I am a mother of a 7 year old boy with ASD, semantic pragmatic disorder, disordered speech, auditory processing problems, auditory memory problems, sensory integration disorder, dyslexia as well as problems with attention and focus. So I know what it is like to have multiple diagnosis that overlap and make it hard to sort out the root cause of difficulties.
From your post it sounds like he is trying to communicate, but can't.
my 2 and half yr old son was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in august 2010. I first had him checked out because he started saying a lot of words and then after 3 months just stopped saying anything. he flaps his hands and mumbles weird sounds, yet he can identify and say each of the ABC's. He can also count to 3 and actually knows how many 3 is. he is in speech therapy and goes to a cooperative school. he is very affectionate and has great eye contact and does not have meltdowns.
You have what is called an "expressive disorder". It may be what is called apraxia. Needless to say you require an immediate dye contrast MRI and a consultation with a facility that has neurologists available to review your disorder. A teaching hospital is a good place to find this expertise.
Yes, something is wrong.
It may be serious and it may not be. Sometimes these problems are due to destruction of impingement on a specific area of the brain by a tumor.
Hi Rayyu. I am not a specialist but parent of a child with mild ASD in question - possibility of a mood disorder/ADHD combination. My son makes good eye-contact, communicates failry well, follows instructions very well, friendly with everybody in general, akward with peers, lot better with older and younger children. Most think he is "shy".
He has not been diagnosed, although they think he has something which is in the spectrum of autism disorder. But does have a speech and language disorder. He ahs the understanding of a 2.5year old! Its very frustrating, he finds it very difficult to understand what im sayin. Its the same for me when i try to understand what he's trying to say. He's slowly getting better since he started school last september.
Hi im new to this forum. I have a 34 month son, sociable, always happy, he just started to combine words but has tons of words and i lose track already. He turns head when i call him, but not when he s infront of the tv. So we try to minimize it...
My son is 4 and a half years old. He has delayed speech. His sentences are one to three words. His doctor had always said he was perfect. Everything else has developed normally and on time. At age 4, his doctor felt that maybe he fell on the spectrum of Autism because of delayed speech and his behavior. I took him to see a speech pathologist. She said he had receptive/expressive disorder. I took him to a neurologist, and after 15 minutes of observation, he decided that it is Autism.
It started when I had what looked like an occular migraine. Then a few days later my speech became slurred, halting difficult to pronounce words. At the hospital they found nothing. MRI was clear. I was referred to a neurologist. He began a series of testing. Parkinson, ALS,Celiac Altzimers have been ruled out. Second follow up, my speech is worse, my walking has changed, my hands do not work well also my feet have a dull tingle and are a bit numb. I mean i feel some pain if pinched.
There are three parts of speech------- receptive speech (understanding what others say to you), expressive (what you want to say to someone else) and articulation (being able to be understood when saying the words).
So, what would I do if I were you? I'd go ahead and request that your pediatrian refer you to the next step of evaluation. This could mean a speech pathologist (does your son have any feeding issues such as he had difficulty chewing solid food as he transitioned to it?).
He also uses delayed echolalia in his speech. And he has Semantic Pragmatic Speech Disorder. So his speech development is typically autistic.
However my son is very affectionate. It is not true that those on the autistic spectrum are unaffectionate. Some don't know how to show affection, others do. My son hugs me and tells me he loves me.
Look at the diagnostic criteria, and if you still have concerns I would ask for a referal.
Check Myesthenia Gravis forum and get some information about it. Those are both symptoms of that disorder, but maybe you can find out more about it. I hope that you are feeling better. Good luck!
My son is 34 months and recently started speech. He says a lot of words and a few phrases "shoes . . wew are you?" but seems to be behind. At his first speech session I asked the speech therapist if she noticed any signs or symptoms beyond speech. She mentioned his hand movements when he gets excited remind her of her autistic clients. She stated that she cannot make any diagnosis regarding autism and after more sessions she can refer him to a specialist if necessary.
Google sensory processing disorder or sensory integration disorder and see what you think. My son has some days where things on the symptom list are there but others that they are not. That is normal for sensory kids as they often react to their environment and can be regulated or de regulated at different times.
How does your grandson do at hand writing or fine motor skills?
Try googling this phrase "developmental apraxia" or "verbal apraxia" or similar phrases to see if your son's speech habitis are similar to those in the descriptions. I know a young child who is five years old and his speech habits are similar to those of your son. He started speech therapy at two years of age but as yet, no formal diagnosis has been given. His parents believe he is apraxic - the speech therapy has helped tremendously and he is doing so well.
