Common Questions and Answers about Speech disorder history

Avatar f tn 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.
676912 tn?1332812551 He doesn't have speech therapy. He's five years old. He speaks clearly, and has a huge vocabulary, normal for his age. I'm not 100% sure about all of it, but I know it has more to do with his brain and comprehension.
Avatar f tn A medical geneticist is a doctor who specializes in genetic disorders, such as IBGC, and can discuss the natural history of the disorder, any genetic testing options, and the inheritance pattern of the condition. If you haven't already, we also recommend that you meet with a neurologist.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn It sounds like she may have either a developmental issue such as sensory integration disorder OR a learning disorder/processing disorder. My son has sensory integration disorder. He has trouble with regulation and can throw a fit easily (or used to when he was younger, he's got a better handle on control now), he had trouble with new physical movements, articulation in speech, processing various things, social skills issues. BUT, a super high IQ.
Avatar f tn 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".
Avatar n tn Does he or she show any other traits of the autism spectrum? If not, it could be a speech delay, or a speech disorder, like childhood apraxia of speech. This can look like autism, although it is different. My son has both.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn Like if you have to do a big presentation or speech and are nervous-- people can take this and it gets them through that. This seems like a very odd choice for generalized anxiety disorder. Clonodine is a drug for lowering blood pressure but it has gotten other indications of anxiety and panic disorder. It probably isn't used as a first line med though. So, again, this brings me around to wondering if you've been on other medications previously and what the result was.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn June 2010- I experienced horrible pains in my stomach, saw a doctor and discovered I had a thyroid disorder. The pains returned and after having an endoscopy it was found that I have atrophic gastritis. August 2010- While on vacation I experienced weak legs and difficulty walking October 2010- Voice changes began to occur.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I always have fear of vomiting vegetable if taken in more quantity.Also certain incidences occurred in my life like retarted speech,attention problems etc.l am from india.Please help me.
Avatar f tn Could be. Could also be a speech delay or disorder. I would ask for a referral to a speech language pathologist.
Avatar f tn But gradually my speech became labored and I had rapid onset of stuttering. The hospital diagnosed me with a speech disorder called dysarthria however they have not been able to find a reason for my rapid onset speech disorder. All of my MRI's came back normal as well. Have you found a diagnosis yet?
499626 tn?1216030227 With a diagnosis of autism that usually means they have speech disorders or speech processing problems. A good website that gives examples of some typical speech problems is http:// www.hyperlexia.org/ sp1.html (take out the spaces). It is also more likely that they will have difficulties learning either due to autism or other learning difficulties. That isn't always the case, but is more likely. Again you might find of the examples on the Health Page interesting.
Avatar n tn The final agreement was a complex migraine. Dr. indicated it has s/s of a stroke. I contine to have slurred speech, and r side weakness. I just cant seem to get up and get going with out some help. The hospital tests were a normal, MRI,MRA, EEG, ECHO, Swallow Test, CT. The MRi did show a past small stroke. The neurologist has indicated all is well with me. But I don't feel like all is well.
193609 tn?1292180293 Anyways, this ENT was the second doctor that told us Ashtyn needs speech therapy immediatly. He sent a referral to one of the best speech pathologists in the state.....and they called me back and told me my insurance does not cover ANY speech therapy and that he will need to get speech therapy through the local school district. My son is part of Early ON of Michigan and has other therapists through the ISD, and is waiting on an eval from a speech therapist there.
384896 tn?1335294331 t explain to me what it was really so I went home and did a little research and turns out this disorder fits my son to a perfect T. I also read that this disorder is mostly caused by mental disorders such as Autism and Aspergers. Which really scares me. I thought my baby was fine and just had a speech delay, but all of a sudden my whole world was tipped upside down when this news was brought to my attention.
Avatar f tn Few other differentials of autism are Rett syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, pervasive developmental disorder etc.A complete history; clinical examination by an experienced neurologist may confirm the diagnosis. Do write to me again. Best luck and regards!
Avatar n tn Slow to make milestones, weight/height always really good. Speech very slow; finally diagnosed w/apraxia @ 3y/o-couldn't speak 10 words @ that point; No one would listen to my worry!! In speech therapy since then. Seemed to be getting better but now @ age 8 his speech hasn't progressed, social interaction/understanding school instruction going sharply downhill. Maybe a comprehension disorder? No tantrums til recently now bursts into tears easily.
Avatar f tn Oh yea, when I touch my face it sets off the shock sensations and exaggerates them. I have dysphonic speech and scanning speech. I take cool showers because I can not stand the heat. That has been going on for several years now. At work i had to write simple medical paragraphs. Someone brought it to my attention about mispelled words, run on words, and sentences. Then i started slowing way down and proof reading them. Guess what? It continued. Please help me feel better about myself.
