Some kids just take longer to talk. He’s not even 2 yet! Some kids are just stubborn - the more you try to force, the less they will comply. Just keep talking to him - that’s the best way to let him learn.
There is no "cure", just patient engagement (which is therapy).

You are right. I need more patience. Yesterday when we were taking the lift he counted 1 to 10 while looking at the lift level screen. Just feel puzzled why he can’t address us or repeat after us but he can sing ABC and count, which don’t seems like the usual sequence to me.

Yes quite possibly. What is he strongly interested in? Eg trains, dinosaurs, Legos? Use those favourite toys to teach names and pointing, you might get a better response.

So far he hasn’t had any toys he likes or any interests. Usually toys he played for awhile and lost interest, attention span is quite short. Maybe he is still young, will need to monitor more. -

Well there you go. Looking on the bright side, it seems to me that:
- he is well able to see, recognize and count his numbers 1-10.
- he enjoys songs and is able to remember things musically.
(Other children, especially girls, may address people and be willing to repeat after you. But this is less typical in boys. So it is not really the “usual” development of both genders.)
Eg my boy didn’t address people till very late. His first pointing word was 猫 (cat). And he refused to repeat words after us. He was a non-compliant toddler in general. -

Simply00123 - One thing that you have to get used to is not to go by what is \"usual\". The fact that your child has been flagged as potentially having some issues means that he is not going to do everything according to the \"normal\" (whatever that may be). Focus on improving things bit by bit. And yes, ASD kids are generally not that interested in people and are not people-pleasers. -
not yet 2yo …so fast can suspect anything arh? Hope just a scare, no major thing…
One dd quite late start talking at around 3yo, quiet gal at pre primary…now live like a normal kid to me… -

My student is the same, he isn't able to speak in complete sentences, e.g. he says \"open\" to tell us that he wants us to open the bag of snacks for him, instead of \"I want to eat cookie\". But he can sing entire songs in one breath once I teach them to him. @Simply00123, you could use songs to teach your son and observe if he hums to himself or sing to himself.Simply00123\" post_id=\"1908794\" time=\"1556952326\" user_id=\"153995:

I agree with zac's mum about the gender differences... during a workshop by the Autism Resource Centre, the instructor said that generally, girls are more compliant because they have a better sense of what society wants from them. Hence they are better able to \"hide\" their ASD than boys. -
Dear Luanee. Need not worry too much. Some children just talk much later, which can create great anxiety to parents.
But they tend to play the catch up game. The moment these children starts talking, you will have the happy problem of trying to keep them quiet. Just relax and enjoy your girl in her fun non-talking stage. -

Dear Parents, My son was suspected autism when he was 3.5yrs. We brought him to KK. The doctor said " your son is confirmed Autism & have to study at the special school".
However, we do our way. Currently at K1 full day childcare + Meta school twice/week for 4 hrs, he also attends some enrichment class for Chinese, Shichida, swimming and catch up quite well. He can read English books, good phonics, correct pronunciation even better than me. Now we look forward to register him to P1 normal school next yr.
Just would like to share our experience, same as all other parents have a special little one, we had a hard time, childcare teacher always call and complain, even the parents of my son’s classmates requested Teacher to stop my son go to school, his classmates did laugh at him & said he is sick …. we did cry and worry very much about our dear son’s future…
But please do not give up, we believe our son is normal & smart, just he is in a different way and need the guide to come back to normal life.
We searched all the methods on internet, bought several books and tried all…
We talk to him more, play together with him whatever he interested in, sing a song together and made him laugh, spend time to him more, bring him go to playground until 9pm on weekend…
One of the good book we read is the Son, Rise by Barry Neil Kaufman & Autism Breakthrough by Raun K Kaufman.
You can buy online.
As we are the parent, we are the most people in the world understand our little one and know what they need…
Give more love & respect to our little, one day we will see the sunrise. -
