Post Reply New Topic

Hi:DMy boy is 5 and is in a normal school GrR.I start noticing he has n speech problem at age 2.I start giving multivitamin,at the time I have little knowledge of Asperger’s,autism,speech and language disorders.I did see n GP and tells me boys stimulate later then girls.So I start doing alot of research learning what to look out for.I learn myself of learning him the best I can.When he was 3 I do 30 Min of sit and learn.It was a struggle at first but with great dicipline it can be done.He was early on walking,potty training and teething.I was the only one that can understand him with the few words and gestures.He is a very happy little boy and loves his sister.When he turn 4 I can see much of a approval.He was talking 3 words sentences.I have little knowledge about diets so i starting giving healthy snacks.So I continue with all sort of things I read to help him and play learning.Yes it do suck your energy.I Will do jumps to help him what is up and down for as long as I could:D I will play teacher and make it fun that he wants to learn more.He do alot of exercises with me.Lol that why he have great moterskills.He can climb well and ride a big bicycle without support.His memory is great!!!Little things you do,make a big difference.He’s first year at school:hi:explain his teacher about his speech problems.She had to fill forms the specialist wanted.She says he can not express himself verbally or enage in a conversation.He easily gets frustrated which results in conflicts with his peers.He is not disruptive,but his attention span is limited.I can see the progress he is making in school\\:D/.I still play teacher everyday he can almost write he’s name.He know’s the shapes,animal voices,body parts and talk alots.But he is still behind.He like to sing.He can sing happy birthday perfect He do chooses poeple he want to interact.But my thoughts on that’s are the poeple that wants to make that effort.Like I said he like to play so everyone that’s in for a play they have his full intention.He is extremely busy at home love love play.He always around his big sister they do get in fights.They do get frustrated with one another .But they can't play without another.He can write well 1 to 10 and draw shapes.I like to test him and read and ask questions.There so much progress in his speech development.:yipee:We still in progress of a diagnosis.I believe every child are uniek.<3

There is a forum here on Wrong Planet for parents, so if you need insight from parents who have kids on the spectrum, the forum for parents is your best bet.

Welcome to Wrong Planet. It sounds like you are doing the right thing. Keep teaching him everything you know, all kinds of real life skills. When I was in school, I had difficulty speaking. So they put me in a special class for 1 hour per day for 3 days a week. This went on for 2 years in 3rd and 4th grade. They had me recite tongue twister during those periods. It was really difficult to recite them precisely and quickly. That is all they did, and I have no speech impediment today. So you might give that a try. Also when he reads, have him read out loud. If he loves a project, turn him completely lose. He may be a slow learner in some areas and a whip in others. It is in the nature of who we are.

Hi Thanx I do my best everyday.Big thanx for the advice

Hi Thanx!! ! I do my best everyday sometimes it's easy days and have my bad days!But at this point it is much easier to learn him new things.I am still confused if he have autism or Asperger's.Maybe something else.Like some days he is really smart en looks like any other kid.Some day it's hard on him.But I can see he is trying really hard.Thanx for the advice will try it.Big thanx
