        Actually, your boy seems to be doing ok at his age and I read from earlier thread that you mentioned he will ask other kids at playground to play with him. ASD kids usually will not initiate play with peers but your boy is doing that.

        Was he formally diagnosed as ASD by kkh? What signs did he display to warrant the diagnosis?

          Double E, yes by kkh physiologist. Ya, he will wave bye bye to his friend in cc. but still quite poor in social interaction, dance & movement. In school he will not do, he will see then go home he try to practice the song & movement himself. If classes have imitation of animals sound, he go home then he do, like Meow for cat, Moo for cow & tiger & so on.. at times he dun show in school , also if school sing song like London bridge is faling down, he will go home then sing. Chinese song too.

          Double E.
          so I only can depend on them but eventually give up. If u read back , I have bad experience with their physiologist too. Very sad, as I hope I can say good things about them, we I have been hopeful too..
          Duno how may out of 6, he is ASD already. He is ASD , maybe his IQ is above average & he use his iQ to overcome some ASD signs.
          He know who he can bully too.. he is good manipulator too.. he acting is vary from person to person & even teacher to teachers.
          Nowsaday, scold him he feel very upset. He noe when we angry when we are happy.. he share interest too.. if we never pay attention he will bring tat item near to our eye & show us.

          But still duno about comprehensive conversation. He will not what is this , what they are doing lor.
          If he duno wat item is that, he will try to make up the words for it, example if its look like triangle he will say I wan triangle pls, hahaha

              Your boy’s condition is very similar to my boy.


              During song and dance session in school, sometimes he will just observe or only do the last part of the song, but at home, he will sing the whole song to us.
              My boy also makes up words if he can’t find a word to describe what he wants.

              But I think, you should still send him for OT and ST at HPB while waiting for placement in EIPIC centre. I think it will do him more good than harm.

                  I agree with double e. should continue sending. so now your boy isn’t attending any therapies whether pte or kkh? Pte is also an hour only. If u are not happy with kkh, try pte. See what’s the difference. If not much, then go kkh. It also took more than a year before I saw results in my boy. U gotta have more patience.

                    No lah, we train him and keep asking him What’s this Whats that, then slowly he picked it up.

                    Now I am trying to teach him to describe what he can find in a park, so tough.

                        Aiyo Helplessmum, if you don’t bring your boy to the therapist, how they do a ‘custom-made’ plan for him? They must have enough time to know him enough to come up with an individual plan for him mah.
