Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 our son silas says about 6-8 words, he is 2 years old, and we is receiving speech and ot. my question is i know he can say other thins i have heard him say it....example. .... 1.when i hollar at the dog, he repeats me and says the dogs name. but he will not spontaneusly say it. 2. same thing happens when i hollar for the kids or tristen. he repeats it. 3.his uncles were watching football in the living room and they hollard touch down and he yelled it back. 4. he will say i love you when you sing it to him, but not on his own. now none of these words are clear but you can make it out. the word he does say are a bunch of noises and squeals like a baby, he will say down, eat, sssssss for horse, maaaaaa for me and da for tristen, and for a while he was calling everyone maaaa and now he is calling everyone daaaaa, and when he does speak he either screams it at the top of his lungs or he whispers it. i was just wondering if anyone could offer any advise. one docter said he has early signs of aspergers, and one docter said he had given some thought to williwams syndrome, but he did not fit enough clinical criteria to test fot it at this time. thank so much Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hi Dana: When you mentioned aspergers, I did a quick search. It says that language seems on the surface normal. At 18 months a child should be able to say 25-50 words. Have you looked up the symptoms of apraxia? spontaneous speech is affected. Mimicking and repeating words is easier than remembering the motor planning to say words on their own. What is the OT for? Have you looked into sensory integration dysfunction/disorder? Apraxia and autism spectrum both have SID? Is your child on EFA's/fish oil? Tina http://www.udel.edu/bkirby/asperger/aswhatisit.html By definition, those with AS have a normal IQ and many individuals (although not all), exhibit exceptional skill or talent in a specific area. Because of their high degree of functionality and their naiveté, those with AS are often viewed as eccentric or odd and can easily become victims of teasing and bullying. While language development seems, on the surface, normal, individuals with AS often have deficits in pragmatics and prosody. Vocabularies may be extraordinarily rich and some children sound like " little professors. " However, persons with AS can be extremely literal and have difficulty using language in a social context. > > > our son silas says about 6-8 words, he is 2 years old, and we is > receiving speech and ot. my question is i know he can say other thins > i have heard him say it....example. .... > 1.when i hollar at the dog, he repeats me and says the dogs name. but > he will not spontaneusly say it. > 2. same thing happens when i hollar for the kids or tristen. he > repeats it. > 3.his uncles were watching football in the living room and they > hollard touch down and he yelled it back. > 4. he will say i love you when you sing it to him, but not on his own. > now none of these words are clear but you can make it out. > the word he does say are a bunch of noises and squeals like a baby, > he will say down, eat, sssssss for horse, maaaaaa for me and da for > tristen, and for a while he was calling everyone maaaa and now he is > calling everyone daaaaa, and when he does speak he either screams it > at the top of his lungs or he whispers it. i was just wondering if > anyone could offer any advise. > one docter said he has early signs of aspergers, and one docter said > he had given some thought to williwams syndrome, but he did not fit > enough clinical criteria to test fot it at this time. > thank so much > Dana > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hi, thanks for writing, i have done some research as well and i thought the same thing, about the lanhuage.he is getting ot to help with eating, he is very fussy and very underweight, he chews everything and then spits it out. he will not swallow. the ot says he has sensory issues, they gave him a really neat hammock swing, and he loves it, he will stay in it all day, that is the only way i can get him to drink his milk. no he is not on that what does fish oil do? thanks again for writing. > > > > > > our son silas says about 6-8 words, he is 2 years old, and we is > > receiving speech and ot. my question is i know he can say other > thins > > i have heard him say it....example. .... > > 1.when i hollar at the dog, he repeats me and says the dogs name. > but > > he will not spontaneusly say it. > > 2. same thing happens when i hollar for the kids or tristen. he > > repeats it. > > 3.his uncles were watching football in the living room and they > > hollard touch down and he yelled it back. > > 4. he will say i love you when you sing it to him, but not on his > own. > > now none of these words are clear but you can make it out. > > the word he does say are a bunch of noises and squeals like a baby, > > he will say down, eat, sssssss for horse, maaaaaa for me and da for > > tristen, and for a while he was calling everyone maaaa and now he is > > calling everyone daaaaa, and when he does speak he either screams it > > at the top of his lungs or he whispers it. i was just wondering if > > anyone could offer any advise. > > one docter said he has early signs of aspergers, and one docter said > > he had given some thought to williwams syndrome, but he did not fit > > enough clinical criteria to test fot it at this time. > > thank so much > > Dana > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 So he has 6-8 words that he speaks spontaneously does he echo those words as well as others? Is the echolalia frequent? How is his pretend play? Does he respond to his name? Does he point at things that he wants you to look at? Does he play with other children appropriately? I would guess that at his age it could be hard to distinguish between Asperger's syndrome and other autism spectrum disorders. Did you mean syndrome? If so, a geneticist should be able to determine if he has it - it is a genetic disorder and has characteristic features that should distinguish it from ASD (facial appearance, high blood calcium, etc). What type of professionals have evaluated him? If he has an autism spectrum disorder, a ped neuropsychologist should be able to diagnose him at 2. Or I would try to find a ped neurologist in your area who has experience with autism spectrum disorders. Actually at 2 your pediatrician should do the CHAT screening test on him and be able to give you some information about his risk of having an ASD. > > > our son silas says about 6-8 words, he is 2 years old, and we is > receiving speech and ot. my question is i know he can say other thins > i have heard him say it....example. .... > 1.when i hollar at the dog, he repeats me and says the dogs name. but > he will not spontaneusly say it. > 2. same thing happens when i hollar for the kids or tristen. he > repeats it. > 3.his uncles were watching football in the living room and they > hollard touch down and he yelled it back. > 4. he will say i love you when you sing it to him, but not on his own. > now none of these words are clear but you can make it out. > the word he does say are a bunch of noises and squeals like a baby, > he will say down, eat, sssssss for horse, maaaaaa for me and da for > tristen, and for a while he was calling everyone maaaa and now he is > calling everyone daaaaa, and when he does speak he either screams it > at the top of his lungs or he whispers it. i was just wondering if > anyone could offer any advise. > one docter said he has early signs of aspergers, and one docter said > he had given some thought to williwams syndrome, but he did not fit > enough clinical criteria to test fot it at this time. > thank so much > Dana > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 hi mary thanks so much for writing. he does not echo those words, and he only repeats us when we speak loudly. his pretend play is ok i think.......but it has to be by himself.yes he responds to his name. he will either point or grunt. no he does not play with other children well at all, he was banned from the nusery at church for biting, they had to stick him in a playpen and now he preferes it. yes i meant williams syndrome. i e-mailed his picture to a bunch of parents who have children with it and some said he does have the facial features and others could not see it. he does have a elevated calcium level, but they said it is olnly slightly elevated. he has been seen by a endrochronologist a neurologist and a developmental docter.....he goes back to the neurologist on jan 30th > > > > > > our son silas says about 6-8 words, he is 2 years old, and we is > > receiving speech and ot. my question is i know he can say other thins > > i have heard him say it....example. .... > > 1.when i hollar at the dog, he repeats me and says the dogs name. but > > he will not spontaneusly say it. > > 2. same thing happens when i hollar for the kids or tristen. he > > repeats it. > > 3.his uncles were watching football in the living room and they > > hollard touch down and he yelled it back. > > 4. he will say i love you when you sing it to him, but not on his own. > > now none of these words are clear but you can make it out. > > the word he does say are a bunch of noises and squeals like a baby, > > he will say down, eat, sssssss for horse, maaaaaa for me and da for > > tristen, and for a while he was calling everyone maaaa and now he is > > calling everyone daaaaa, and when he does speak he either screams it > > at the top of his lungs or he whispers it. i was just wondering if > > anyone could offer any advise. > > one docter said he has early signs of aspergers, and one docter said > > he had given some thought to williwams syndrome, but he did not fit > > enough clinical criteria to test fot it at this time. > > thank so much > > Dana > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 And just to make it more confusing it is possible to have both aspergers and apraxia, though harder to diagnose. My 5 year old ds was diagnosed severely apraxic at age 2 and was recently diagnosed with aspergers. He has very text book asberger traits but his lack of speech was confusing things. He was nonverbal until he was 4. So now the specialists have decided that he has apraxia AND aspergers. ly, the apraxia has been the most difficult to deal with. He is now 5 and a little chatterbox, though still extremely hard to understand at times (drives us crazy with his obsessions, but we'll take it!) thanks to fish oil and vitamin e. Actually many of his autistic behaviors have disapeared or become much less of an issue on the vitamon e. We have his on 1400 IU alpha and 6oo mg Gamma.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 My son's initial diagnosis was Asperger's although some therapists consider him PDD because at 9.0 years old he's still got residual language delays. I also suspect that it's possible to have Asperger's along with CAPD (central auditory processing disorder) which further confuses things!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 This is interesting. I thought that Aspergers was only diagnosed in children who had normal onset of speech. I wonder how they decide it's aspergers vs PDD NOS when speech is delayed. Both can be high functioning. > > > > > > Hi Dana: > > > When you mentioned aspergers, I did a quick search.
