Met a 3 yr old gal at kkh McDonald's today. She doesn't talk and I saw her pointing to tell her parents what she wants. Reminded me of my son when he was that age. We have come a long way and he is now so chatty.

Is it a coincidence? If not, they have violated your privacy. Go to another centre. If a centre cannot uphold the privacy of their clients, they can't be trusted.Blokus:
Now I'm fuming! I feedback to Denise at wee care and they got my friend (who works there) to call me!
1) I didn't tell them I have a friend there. The recept must have heard me talking to my mom about it. But I didn't intent to let them know.
2) I haven't told my friend about my son's condition yet! And they proceed to do so without my consent! Where is the privacy?!! I wanted to tell her in my own time but they over right me!
No not coincidence. My poor friend was roped in without knowing what's going on. She also not sure how Denise know we are friends. Good thing is, she's my good friend. I hate to think if it's someone I don't want to her to know. I didnt want to involve my friend cause she just gave birth & I wasn't ready to share yet. Now thanks to the director.....Even then, complaint is about another staff & center's case, why involve a 3rd innocent party right? Bad service recovery, bad! -

Nope. After I sent the email, I got a call from my friend. I’ve not heard from Denise at all.

Oh dear. That’s quite bad.

hi blokus, i reckon this denise is too ashamed to admit her mistake. according to my fren who has worked in a law firm before, this is infringement of privacy. these specialised centres were told not to share such info with anyone unless the parents agree to or prior informing is required. denise is wrong to have shared your situation with your fren.
it is not right to think that \"good thing that the fren is your good fren and u dun mind sharing with her\". sometimes some things are even a taboo to share with good frens, cos u may rather some strangers to know it but not your close frens..
u must demand for an explanation and warn them not to handle in such way again. -
Yah man. I’ve written another note to tell her I’m more upset now. I think she should have at least the courtesy to call or write a reply.

Blokus:Kar kar,
Hello!
I think we're both at the same stage. The knowing yet not knowing stage. So I can relate to how you feel now. I'm also suspecting my son is on the spectrum but test is only in oct.
However, the best advice I've got is not to wait for the diagnosis. Because whether they are on the spectrum or not, they need help. So what you are doing now is right. Unfortunately, I am equally lost, so I hope other moms would be able to recommend private assessments for you.
Thank you. Hugs!! Hugs!! it's never so easy. Lets keep our faith and work hard for our dears. are you trying out some private assessments? how are you organizing your kid's daily activity? maybe some parent assist programe or non parent assist might work. after 3 lessons of playgroup, i feel my son becomes slightly more disciplined and the smile he had to me was so unforgettable when i picked him up after the end of first lesson, although he cried at the 2nd and 3rd time.
My dear colleague told me the future is only to be better. i thanked him for telling me that. -

He's not too bad. Can talk at 22 months. Mine started 2.5 yrs old, so that's about 30 mths.
Have u gotten his hearing checked? Sometimes ear infections can affect hearing and that's why he started ignoring u while he was not doing that when he was younger. Go have a check on that first. And boys can be really occupied with their toys. Try getting toys that promote interactive play instead.
Thank you. I dont even know if this is considered talking. to me, he's simply just reciting what he hears but he doesn't' understand what he's saying. as first time mum, i dont know if this is normal or abnormal for kids of this age or kids who's learning to talk.
We had his ears checked at 16 months, PD said he's okay. he reacts to sound / music so we know his hearing is fine. maybe he finds us uninteresting to listen to, or he doesn't understand what we talk and why we talk. do you know what are the toys that promote interactive play?
