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.
551037 tn?1214962440 has the Speech and Language Therapist definately diagnosed a delay or a disorder. A good speech and language therapist should be able to give you an indication of whether they suspect your child is on the spectrum from the kind of speech problem they have. Semantic/Pragmatic Disorder is typical of being on the spectrum, is this what the speech therapist is referring to? You can read a good lengthy explanation of this at http:// www. hyperlexia. org/sp1.
Avatar n tn If he has semantic speech difficulties google Semantic Pragmatic Speech Disorder. But bear in mind that the loss of a diagnosis could mean he doesn't receive supports as an adult. This is only my opinion, but I want all professionals who come into contact with my son to know that he is on the autistic spectrum so that he is treated appropriately. My son is high functioning autistic and goes to a mainstream school.
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.
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 n tn My 5 year old daughter has just been dianosed with social communication disorder as well as delayed speach. i am concerned she may feel isolated from other children at school as she does not know how to comunicate with them. what help can be given to her for this.
Avatar m tn There are three parts of speech--- articulation (making the sounds) is one we all think of with speech. but there is also receptive speech (the ability to take in and organize what is said to you so that you can understand it) and expresssive (the ability to formulate the thoughts you want to express, to organize those thoughts into words to speak). Motor planning has a huge impact on these speech componants.
Avatar n tn If it does then maybe that as a diagnosis might be more acceptable to the family, and, as it is a speech disorder (closely associated with being on the spectrum), in the UK it means the child will have access to a SALT throughout his school years because it is a 'disorder' and therefore will be with the child for life. You can also find out about Social Stories. This is a way of giving information to children.
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.
543250 tn?1214743177 By scripting (or echolalia), that shows he has learnt language in a different way, and that he does have a speech disorder that is associated with autism. That is why he doesn't have much spontaneous speech. He should really be seen and assessed by a Speech and Language Therapist that has experience of autistic spectrum disorders and speech disorders.
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 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 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 m tn If all the tests are normal, one does think of Conversion disorder. Have you been diagnosed with conversion disorder ? While we are trying to consider conversion disorder, I am thinking about the Bell's Palsy part of your symptoms. This is an unusual symptom. It is difficult to have unilateral paralysis of the face in conversion disorder.
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 m tn If he is repeating what you say back to you, that is called echolalia and it's a speech disorder commonly associated with autism. I would start with a speech/language therapist and you can also get him screened by the school district for other delays/problems. What state are you in? Maybe I can help point you to the right agency?
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 n tn My son is HFA not Aspergers. He has severe semantic pragmatic speech disorder and although this is a separate disorder it is medically recognised that those on the autistic spectrum have difficulties with the meaning of speech as well as disordered/delayed speech. There also tends to be differences in ability of the expressive and receptive speech.
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?
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 n tn 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.
543250 tn?1214743177 But she does have the language delay. Has a Speech and Language Therapist told you it is delay and not disorder? With delay there is a possibility that it will improve, with disorder that is for life. If she is 8 and using echolalia that suggests a disorder and not delay. And echolalia is present in alot of autistic children, including my son. I would also recommend you read an article by Olga Bogdashina which is on the autism today website.
