Blokus,

Amazing yr son does!! How old is he now ?

My son is 5. But comparatively, your 3 YO is progressing at a faster rate than my son. At 3, he doesn't seek out for love from us or have desire to play with others. Also, only after severe scolding by me, he suddenly realized he needs to bring things to me because I can't see it if I'm not near him. This he only did it this year.

That's why i like, the other moms here, feel that you are too pessismistic about son's condition. What you are doing is forcing a NT development/milestone on him & when he seems to fall short from it, you get very depress. We are all amazed by what your son can do because we know it's quite a big deal for a special needs child to be where your 3yo is.

But you don't seem to be happy with what he can do instead keep saying he's no where near a normal 3yo. I read somewhere to be celebrating when a (severe) autistic child is able to say, speak like a 15 month old even though he's say 4 years old. Never expect that special needs child to speak like a 4 YO just as you won't expect a normal 15month old baby to speak like a 4 YO.

Nugget,

Yr son already at eipic why u still need rehab eipic.

Most mummies epic is it mostly pte?

studies shown the best age for intervention is up to 6 yrs old. that is also the reason why eipic is only offered up to 6 yrs old.. the more therapy i hv for him right now, it does more good than harm.

i am with the govt subsidized non profit eipic centre. by right i cant get kkh rehab. but since i am offered by the rehab center, i shld grab this god sent opportunity that can help my son even further.

pte doesnt mean is good and publiv services doesnt mean its lousy. it all boils down to the therapist you met and the chemistry he/she has with your kid.

Can share how your boy was taught to approach kids & ask qns like ‘what is your name?’ etc.

blokus,


so malu to say this, i was not the one who taught my son this. i think the eipic or speech therpaist taught him… my son attend eipic 3x per week for 3 hours.

but it was that NT guy who keep following my boy and wants to play with him… then my son just asked the qn… i think he ask just for the sake of asking?? i really dunno what is in their mind.

I didn't read my son's psychological report so many times cos I know whatever that is written inside there was what I told the psychologist and now the diagnostic are passe already..


I needed that report more like a confirmation to say my son is ASD n get into eipic.

My son never do any iq test.. How is it being tested??

Just now my son went to ask this NT kid \"what is your name\" at the playground... The NT kid never reply lol... But when the NT kid tries to tell my son to follow him, my son just \"ahhhhh\" and ran off.. But I am still happy my son learn what to say when seeing his peers like asking him for his name..

Haha, I also dunno how they do it exactly coz we were chased out of the room when they do that. But think they ask specific questions and if he can answer, they will continue. If not they stop. The longer he stays in there, the better his iq.

Hmmm...we were asked to remain in the room. The IQ test comprised of 2 sections: Verbal and Non Verbal. The verbal section involved definitions of words. The non verbal section involved classification of pictures, patterns and sequencing, and manipulative cubes with patterns which he was required to imitate and reproduce.

That's what's done based on my memory...might have left out some...

I wonder how they decide who stays and who goes to St. Andrews. In fact, we were transferred from a registrar to a consultant after the first initial appointment. And we are subsidized patients...

We are subsidised too through Polyclinic. We live in the East so it's more convenient to go to SAC in Simei. The Centrals will go to Outram while the NEasteners will go to Sengkang. Both SAC and SK are satellite centres of KKH CDU to convenience people in suburbs.

I thought Helplessmum stays in the central area? I stay in the north central area. Guess u might be right in how they decide who gets sent where since I go kkh.
