Avatar n tn But where your daughter does match the criteria eg. speech/social communication, then they could use the same strategies they might use for an autistic child. 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.
616452 tn?1253877644 Does he have Semantic Pragmatic Speech Disorder? Does he have Central Auditory Processing Disorder? Does he have Dyslexia? Does he have Auditory Memory Retrieval problems? Does he have Sensory Integration Disorder, Does he have poor Theory of Mind, Does he have Executuve Function Disorder, what is his Cognitive Ability? Unfortunately the more 'disorders' you discover the more support the child gets as it proves they have severe and complex needs.
Avatar f tn Regarding repeating questions, words etc - google Echolalia and Autism and also Perseverant Speech and Autism and see if that sounds like what he is doing. If it is then he probably has a speech disorder that needs to be assessed by a Speech and Language Therapist. She should assess his expressive and receptive speech as well as assess for Semantic Pragmatic Speech Disorder.
Avatar f tn Ahh, sorry you have this worry for your niece. I would take evaluations further. I would have her evaluated by a developmental pediatrician or an occupational therapist. This could be speech related but speech also plays into other neurological issues. There are three parts of speech that all have to work. First, there is receptive, that she has to take in what is said to her and organize it so she can understand it, comprehend. The next part of speech is expressive speech.
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 The brain and nervous system must be organized and be able to work together and the nervous system must be able to send accurate signals to carry out speaking, movement, etc. Speech is often involved with sensory processing disorder. There are three parts to speech, receptive (taking in and organizing what someone has said to you), expressive (organizing your thoughts into what you want to say) and articulation (actually making the correct sounds).
Avatar f tn She is almost 3 now and she still likes to do her own thing. She is not interested to other kids at all. Her speech has not fully developed yet meaning she cannot put a sentence together although she sings many songs and knows a lot of words. She is not shy at all. Lately, she seems to show signs of frustration such as throwing a way her book or a toy. She has also has been pushing her brother who is 1 year old around or other kids in school in occasions.
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 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 f tn My 2-year-old son also has Sensory Integration Dysfunction...he is also Apraxia (motor speech disorder). What state do you live in? What kinds of things is your daughter sensitive to? What kinds of strategies have you put into place? It can be really frustrating...I understand your daily struggle! I'm an SLP in the public school system and work closely with the OT at my school. I am also friends with my son's OT...her daughter is speech delayed and sensory impaired as well!
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 f tn He has been diagniosed as adhd, bipolar, and devlopment delay disorder. He has never had really good speech, but lately it has gotten to the point that 95% of the time no one (including myself) can understand him. when he is angry or up set, the only way that he communicates is through physical aggression. He will not play with other children, but clear away from them. Most everything he does, he needs help and doesn't seem to understand even the simple instruction.
Avatar n tn Hm. You don't say where you live. I'm guessing it is not the US by the way you describe the school years. At 10, a child is still in elementary(primary) school in the US and then usually goes to middle school and highschool when they are about 14 or so. But . . . in the US, schools are by law required to evaluate children for disorders when requested by a parent and then special services are added into the school day if needed. Is there any such thing where you reside?
Avatar m tn Loss of balance, dificulty in writing and speech increased graduly for first week. As per doctor this is a POST VIRAL CEREBRAL SYNDROME. On 16 th may 08 I had a very mild fever (100 deg F) for 2 days which improved without any medication. I was started with oral MPS but there was no improvement, rather difficulties increased. Then I was given IVMPS( Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate - 1 gm) daily for 5 days. After 5 doses condition started improving.
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 The other thing is, she doesn't have an eating disorder. You have let her get away with some bad behavior, that's all. Saying "my child has an eating disorder" is not taking any responsibility for the fact that you are in charge of her diet. She doesn't do the meal planning, shopping and food preparation, you do.
Avatar f tn Now he is becoming more social and social interaction difficulties are causing him more problems along with his speech difficulties (he is diagnosed with Semantic Pragmatic Speech Disorder). And, if his speech develops significantly, as an adult it might become harder to 'identify' that he is on the spectrum.
614508 tn?1265281722 And he has many other gadgets in his room that is allowed to tear up. He has a sensory disorder so he cannot get the stimulation that we can all by himself to calm him down. We can go for a walk, turn on some music, etc. They have no idea what to do or how to get that stimulation. It's best to provide him with a quiet area and things they are very sensory stimulating. Even a simple treat and a glass of juice work!
Avatar f tn that help with receptive language issues. An ot and speech therapist should be able to help with some strategies for this. We found with sensory that once my son was better regulated that he could carry out motor planning better. Things improved across the board.
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.
