Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 My son walked late too, well over 12 months, maybe around 16 months, but not as late as yours. I don't store stuff like that in my brain. But, he spent most of his first year eating and sleeping, so no time to practice walking at all. emp806 wrote: > > My son started walking at age 2 1/2. > Do you guys think this is common for ASD children? > Anyone who have seen this unusual motor delay? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 My guys did not start walking until 19 months and are still unsteady and cannot run, kick a ball, navigate a play ground with confidence.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 My son walked only at 16 months and that was because I really worked with him a lot to walk. Some ASD children have motor delay. Maya. From: emp806 <emp806hotmail (DOT) com> Subject: [ ] My son started walking after age 2.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 My son did not walk that late but had severe gross motor delays. They were resolved in 48 hours when we treated him on mepron for babesia.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 My daughter was 17 months when she took her first step, and 14 months when she started creeping (and this after we did some rudimentary patterning [Doman Delacato]).

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I finally addresed some concerns with my brothers about his daughter. Having a son with high fuctioning aspergers I could see some of the signs I missed. She started crawling in a stomach crawl dragging one leg. She is delayed in walking (wobble walker)17 mos. and cannot talk. If she says Mama and Dada does this mean she is just slower in talking or could be still a big concern with being able to speak? She does a lot of babbling. She screams a lot. She has bluish purple hands which she holds quite often in the neck of the shirt. She also sticks her fist down her throat a lot. She used to be a happy go lucky girl until her flu vaccination at 15mos. which lead to what they believe to be seizures (doc's deny it). She doesn't sleep well at night and does a backwards inchworm crawl in her sleep. Do any of these concerns ring a bell? My brother wants to sneak his daughter into get her last inoculation of her flu vaccination and MMR. I was desperate to sharing the truth with him about our concerns of her being on the spectrum. Please help us! (Mom is worried sick and Dad is in denial and ready to start divorce because Mom is doing preventative now).

I don't store stuff like that in my brain. But, he spent most of his first year eating and sleeping, so no time to practice walking at all. ==>My dd was a great sleeper, she slept through the night, the very night we brought her home from the hospital and was never, ever up at night. She was only awake about 4-6 hours a day until she was about 7 months old. When I asked the dr about this, he said it wasn't a problem.... but she would probably be delayed somewhat in walking/talking as she wasn't awake long enough to practice. She walked across the entire width of my living room floor the very day she turned 7 MONTHS old and she was running full tilt at 9 months. She could repeat any word you asked her to at 6 months and was speaking in paragraphs at a year...... so we're glad she was *delayed* I think delayed motor issues, both gross and fine motor, are more prevalent in ASD kids and certainly denote problems with muscle strength and development even in non ASD kids. emp806 wrote: > > My son started walking at age 2 1/2. > Do you guys think this is common for ASD children? > Anyone who have seen this unusual motor delay? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 My daughter did not walk independently until the month before she turned 3 years old which was when we removed dairy (and gluten). When we trialled a small amount of dairy after 10 days she didn't walk again for 3 days. That was the start of our biomed journey. Needless to say we were believers after that. She also didn't crawl until late (around 18 months) and when she did she started with the stomach crawl and definitely dragged her right side.

This is one symptom of viral issues. > She also sticks her fist down her throat a lot. My #3 did this. Adding mB12 eliminated it. >>does a backwards inchworm crawl in her > sleep. Do any of these concerns ring a bell? This is sort of like one mother described as a milk intolerance symptom for her child. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
