Sunshine Language
Let everyone speak normally!
Language delay? autism? Mental retardation?
These are the messages we received in the background, it can be seen that many parents are full of doubts, whether the child is autistic, is it language development delay? Does the family intervention done by yourself have any effect on the child, and does it help the child a lot?
Parent 1、
My son's eyes have always been OK, three years old before not understanding, can not speak, has always thought that it is late to talk, three years old to the institution rehabilitation, think it is the overall developmental delay, now more than four years old, I think he may be autism, but how can not accept this reality, very painful, every day is not happy, kindergarten is not social, do not understand the teacher's words, no rules, will not say, there is no need to go, continue institutional rehabilitation, six years old is still so, there is no need to consider primary school, can only go to special schools, We are a small county, other people's eyes and discussions, really can't think.

My husband and ex-wife had an autistic child, so now I am worried that my baby is also autistic, and I have read a lot of information and said that autism is caused by insufficient early stimulation.
If my child goes out regularly from birth, such as a month ago, and regularly takes him to class reunions, takes him to early education classes, takes him to the park, and arranges different activities every day, will he avoid autism? But the baby began to be suspected of stunting at the age of 2, and by the age of three, he was officially diagnosed with severe developmental delay, and receiving stimulation like him should be enough (I am a full-time mother), I am so worried that it is autism!

My baby has been treated as stunted, but I suspect it's autism.
When evaluating, the doctor said that the eyes are not like autism, but the baby's eye contact is deliberately trained by me, because I have long found that he does not look at each other, does not look at people, does not follow the direction of the hand to arouse common attention, I have worked hard to train his eyes well, will it be the reason for missed diagnosis?
When the baby was more than one year old, I was sent to an institution to start ABA intervention training, and when I was two years old, I added vb language training courses, and when I returned to the clinic at the age of three, the doctor only judged it to be "mild language delay", and told me to go back to pay more attention to guidance and do family rehabilitation training. But you know, the baby's current condition is very bad, in the kindergarten everywhere frustrated, changed several kindergartens, half a year later, often there are teachers reflect "do not listen to the class", "do not listen to the instructions", "class under the desk drilled around", "run out of the classroom", said that the child has attention deficit and ADHD, can not teach.

I often hear that autism has been misdiagnosed, and I think my baby may have been misdiagnosed.
I think my baby may have an intellectual problem, but he can show dependence and be able to listen to a small number of instructions, so he is somewhat unacceptable to the result of "autism". If the child is labeled "autism" early, it will not be the end of the next life!
The evaluation process seems to be too sloppy, they do not believe or imagine at all, the baby learns to wash his hands, learn to go to the toilet by himself, I teach it myself, although the learning is slow, but in the end I learned, indicating that the baby is guided, which is absolutely very different from the performance of other autistic children. At present, I am teaching my baby to learn to dress himself, learn numerical calculations, and graphical classification, although it is very slow, but I will keep trying.

I think it is too hasty to rule out autism only by eye gaze, and he may learn things for cognitive, neurological reasons, but definitely not enough stimulation! Babies and peers grow up in a similar environment, why wouldn't others know him? Of course, this does not rule out because of his personal conditions, but it is by no means that we hinder the baby's contact with the environment, we are most concerned about what environment to send him to what environment to contact more and adapt to it, rather than deliberately evading the opportunity to let him contact society, although the current diagnosis is "suspected autistic tendency", but I also do not want to give up, two months of learning we will use half a year, a year, increase the intensity and frequency of intensive training.
Our opinion
It is said that a long illness into a doctor, each parent forced to become a reasonable, their doubts and speculations are not unreasonable, the baby's various current situations, of course, the most understood parents. From the parents' comments, we can see that some family auxiliary training has a very good effect, of course, some subjective tendencies of self-doubt are also obvious.
Why do babies of the same age who grow up in the same environment have good cognition, but their own babies have not improved, and even often have skills to regress? Can autism be determined only by not paying attention to people? Can your baby get rid of autism if there is progress? Are language delays and autism easily confused?
These problems may have plagued every parent, but no one can give an accurate conclusion based on text descriptions alone until the child is seen and evaluated.
The only thing that can be determined is if the child does not have additional developmental restrictions, such as:
Visual impairment resulting in slow searches,
impaired hearing and limited language learning,
Cerebral palsy affects motor development and language development restriction
Low cognitive decline makes it difficult to break through the bottleneck of learning,
Autism causes social interaction learning to be particularly slow,
Excluding the above five, the rest of the developmental delay caused by insufficient stimulation has been significantly improved under effective guidance, and even completely reached the development level of children of the same age.
Regardless of whether the child is finally determined which type of developmental disorder the child belongs to, do not stop working until the cause is found, and family-assisted intervention and guidance is always one of the most effective means.
