All About Autism

Awww thanks immeemee. Dunno lei, 2 therapists already told me language disorder is under the umbrella of autism. Yes, I do have less things to tackle comparatively. I just need to work on his joint attention & social communication skills (though he's got some levels of each area). That's why I was told since he doesn't display any other typical autism traits, we could try to aim for language disorder. Though she didn't say it might not be autism.

Aiyah I dont know! Ever since the dr put him up for autism test, I'm on a blur. Some days I'm convinced he's fine but when I see how he gives no eye contact or interest when some other people try to talk to him then I'm certain he does. talk about false hope, I'm so worried I'm giving myself false hopes!

truth be told, even up to now which is 2 years after my daughter's formal dignosis there are times when I look at her and think 'maybe she's NT afterall'.

Why did the teacher do that? I think u need to question the teacher. If your boy is not harming the other kid, why pull him away? They are discriminating him isn't it?

Thought u wanted to change cc for him? How is it? This CC is definitely not a nurturing one.

[helplessmum3]

Yes changing cc soon.


Yes discriminatiOn.

By chance I saw few incidents . So at class when I’m not there they did the same.
They can say they not bUt do. U know what I mean…

So my son now prtocOl he shd not go near kids .
No choice we are under their mercy to take in my son

Now change school also worry hiaz . What if later school want to kick him out

My son's autism test is next week. But after 2 social skills sessions at wee care, the therapist thinks if we can work on his social communication then maybe we can try to aim for language disorder rather than autism. So, it was suggested that I postpone the test while we give him some time to work on social skills. However, I found out that the wait list for the test is very long. So if I postpone it, it may drag till like next March or so. My hub thinks that's fine. But I feel like so sayang. Yet, I don't need any diagnosis now since we are still going to mainstream and so far he seems to be independent enough at school.

So how? It looks like I've to wait another 6 more months to know. What would you do if you were me?

i postponed mine. or rather change the date to later. i just got diagnosis that hes confirmed ASD. hes 2 years old soon and i am warned that his autism behaviour would come later. eye contact, awareness of social environment and lack of recognition of representation are his problems. i will wait for the formal report and yes, i am signing up for him home therapy program, 10 hr/week. we as parents and grandparents would learn to carry out more sessions under guidance of therapist.

he is doing hand flapping this week and toewalking seems more often now. regression!! and he does delayed echolalia, his counting and doing alphabet songs doesn't mean anything. Psychologist advised to stop the music and dis encourage meaningless counting or recital.

Hey Autism, i know you have been in our family for a while, but you just got confirmed. sad enough, but i try to stay positive. hope miracle will happen. He's a lovely kid, he deserves much more than this.

I don't quite understand the reason behind stopping the music. My NT gal also sings. Why does it need to mean anything? She repeats songs from memory, recite di zi GUI which I read to her from young. She's now singing gangnam style!

And the so called meaningless counting is just to memorize the sequence of the nos. it is numeracy literacy. He is less than 2 yrs old. So I don’t know why there’s a need to look more to it than necessary.

I just after my night school n reached home .


I saw my neighbor who I duno him , they stay near my block.

His son can’t walk properly kind . They always practise walking at our neighbourhood …

Now they are resting at bus stop to either take a break or wait for his wife.

It is so heart warming especially a man who take care of his disable son.

They are talking n smiling away at the bus stop

To diagnose a child this early at less than 2 years old, is it accurate? As for eye contact, my son had very fleeting eye contact since toddler days and still has. This is actually one of the conditions which puts him on the spectrum but not classical case. Since recently, the ASD spectrum has broadened so much that more and more kids are being classified as falling into the spectrum. Some of the things which your kids here are capable of doing, my NT gal is still not doing. Some of the things your kids here can't do, my ASD boy achieved them very early. The area is so grey. I think many ASD kids have IQ as good or even better than NT kids. Their main area of concern is the social aspect.

My gal also recites the 百家姓 thingy and songs too. I don't think she understands very thing she recites too...she's only 3+. But her 咬字 is not very good. She always misses the 's' sound...Spidergirl becomes Pidergirl.
