All About Autism

Learning things fast is giftedness. Not autism. Parroting is when they copy exactly what u said like a parrot.
Which pd did u see at CDC? It’s very odd to say its autism from u said. My boy had to satisfy a few criteria before they confirm. And that is after the psychological test. -
Helplessmum,
Try googling 'mildly autistic / child mild autism, there is plenty to read up… -
My boy has been seeing the OT and ST for almost 2 yrs before we decided to send him to CDC. We addressed his articulation prob, poor fine motor skills, handwriting and feeding issues at the rehab before we went. They are from two different depts so u can actually see them concurrently. But rehab is not so much into identifying those with autism. They just deal with each prob u face. Now my boy’s OT session is focused on appropriate behaviour in class and ST is on social conversation. It changes as his needs change.

I thought that sounds like a sign of a smart kid.
my son learns things very fast tat is autism sign. according to some :'(,
When I give him a letter 6, he will say 6 then he turn around and say 9...
if given him a letter W, he will say 'W' then turn around and say letter 'M'..
if given him a Square, he will say \"square\" later the turn its to be a diamond & say \"Diamond\"...
if give two semi circle to him, he will say \"semi Circyle\" then he take another one join together and say \"Circle\"..
he is only 2.5yrs old..... its sign of Autism... some say... :'(.
Get more opinions before you take his labeling as Autism as correct. -
Helplessmum3,
My appointment with KKH CDU is on 5th March (next month). I am being referred by polyclinic since beginning of Jan. I’ve waited for around closed to two months already and i’m still waiting desperately for the appointment on 5th March to come.
My girl has no eye contact, limited speech, 50% parroting during communication, cannot sit still on the chair for even more than 3 mins and likes to wander around in the classroom. Its only when her nursery school principle told me about these signs beginning of last month, then i realised it all directed to the word autism when i googled for the symptoms her school principle mentioned to me.
I did not know anything about autism in the first place. The more i read about autism, the more panic, desperate, worried, sad and depress i became. -

Don't panic lavendery. It may not be as bad as you think. See what happens in March and take one thing one step at a time. :snuggles:

Your son sounds like a very bright boy. Why did you bring your son to see Dr Chan? Why was there a need to? -

:hugs: don't be sad.

Only parents with similar kids will understand your situation and give you sound advice, so do come to the thread to seek these parent' help and advice. Awareness has been raised about autism and therapies are more available than last time. Sharing and learning will lift your burden and make you more sane, don't bottle up. Jia you ok for your child. :hugs:
