Re: Anyone have speech after 7 years of age

[Guest guest]

Our situation, my daughter had single words before 2 1/2 when she regressed. I

was then told she has autism and was probably MR. We had to teach everything

over again. My daughter started making echoic sounds at 5. At 7, she had about

15 clear words. She is 9 now and we have stopped listing words because there are

so many. We are working on 4 to 5 word sentences now. Every morning befor she

gets on the school bus, she tells me, " ha da dood day " .

We do AC protocol, supps and, some may not agree, but I force language in my

home. If she wants to something she has to use her words. If she doesn't know

the word I teach it to her. I reward her ALOT with praise and excitement.

If I had listened the ped neuro and Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta who gave her

MR diagnosis, said she would never speak and I should think about her future and

institutions, my daughter would still be only mumbling now.

Did anyone on this group have full speech after 7 years of age ??

My daughter got the MAJORITY of her language after the age of 7. Almost

all. True, she was echolalic from the start but no language on her own until

about 8-9 and beyond. She continues to get more.

My son had never made any noise except laughing and crying since the day he was

born, no regression, he is a severe Kanner child. He said his first word at age

6. He wasn't using more than one word at a time until he was probably 8. He is

almost 14 now, and he talks all the time.

The pedneuro who dx him, told me he would never talk or even acknowledge my

existence. Today he talks, he reads, he is social, he acts like a typical child

of a much younger age [he is still developmentally delayed, because of all the

vaccine damage, but improving every day].

Don't listen to neurologists, they don't know what they are talking about.

Joanna,

We had several small words around 6 - 3 word sentences. Now, she has quite a

vocabulary and even uses a lot of common phrases correctly ( " ah, touché "

or if I am getting ready to go somewhere, she will come up and hug me and say

" hola, hot mamasita " lol) and can be very sarcastic at times. I get a kick out

of her humor and sometimes, she will be plain mad ranting and raving and I will

do all I can not to smile about it because I am amazed at the articulation of

this awesome child, my little girl they said was retarded.

Have hope!

The doctor is being realistic in that once puberty starts the brain development

slows down, so you want to do as much as possible as quickly as possible to get

him on the right track.

Joanna,

My son was severely damaged after getting four shots at once (two of them were

the 3-in-one). I had an SLP tell me that my nonverbal son would never speak when

he was five because he hadn't regained any of the words he lost after his shots

years later. We've been chelating for four years now (he's turning 9 soon) and

he's saying new words after almost every round! And starting to string them

together like " Thank you " . Don't listen to a doctor, YOU are mom-pay more

attention to what you observe every day and continue to help him break through

his shell with chelating. I know one day, my little guy WILL be speaking

sentences :-) Keep up the good work!

Dear All,

You are my inspiration tonight. I was so down when I wrote the email to the

group, you cannot imagine . Now, after reading your replies , I realise I need

to stand by my little man and not give up (not that I was , but I was kind of

at one of those moments where you loose hope ).

Thanks a million for your words of encouragement and HE WILL SPEAK......that's

my motto from now on.

I read a post on another site that a mum and dad used to sing a made up song to

their son in the bath, this was when he was quite young and years later after

they had given up singing it he suddenly started to sing it in the bath - it

just shows you that all is not what it seems and sometimes our kids don't seem

to be taking things on board but they are little miracles in the making. I chat

to my son all the time and have done so for as long as i can remember he's 5 now

( and i have verbal diarhea!) I would always say what i was doing, like lets get

dressed, pull your sock on, put your shoes on, get your coat (using hand over

hand) now he can manage basic commands, although sometimes he is just a lazy kid

and won't budge.

Hi Joanna,

I'm coming in here late and haven't read all the replies, but the problem with

neurologist predictions like that is if the parent listens and believes, the

prediction becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The neurologist is right because

the parent thinks he's right. If the parent thinks he's wrong, well, that seems

much more likely to be the case.

I know you've regained yourself from the comments you've received. Good for you

:-) Once you've abandoned completely the idea that the arrogant, incurious, and

lazy (some of whom are so-called professionals) have any insight on our

children, it makes it much easier to just get on with it.

My son is 7, doesn't speak, although he used to. I know he will again one day.

Joanna,

Also a late comer----all those labels only serve to restrict, a lesson I learned

early on. When my almost 4y old went for preschool screening, she was labelled

'severe MR and autism.' Speech therapy was suggested. She had some speech but

very slushy and acted much like a stroke patient in trying to find words to use.

After about 2mos of speech therapy, I realized that my little one was reading.

It was me that was slow on the uptake as she had been flipping through those

library books for many months. I thought she was looking at the pictures. As a

result of the speech lessons, I was helping more intensely to sound words, ask

questions about things etc. Whenever I would ask her and brother about the story

line of the book, she would flip to the page for an accurate response. I threw

out those labels and the dire predictions that accompanied them; just began to

look for things that would help.

Hi all,

I'm new to this group but just wanted to say that i love the attitude on all of

you, and especially the outlook of Anita. I personally thing that is so true

too..(self fulfilling prophecy).

One other angle is this. A lot of the medical professionals are not aware yet of

what biomed can do for some kids as they are not open to it and therefore their

heads are still stuck in the sand; not learning and educating themselves. Dont

forget that, so how in the heck can we take anyting they say to be true for our

kids??!!

Good luck

Hi Tj and team,

Yes we are chelating using the AC protocol and are on round 39. actually after

round 30 of DMSA/ALA we have gone to ALA alone.

We tried OSR for a while and the tackling virus but got nothing there. We will

soldier on and I know HE WILL TALK. I tell him this very often and I know he

hears me.

Thanks to all and I am here if anyone needs me.

I know my situation is different, but my son now 5yo PDD-NOS is nearly

recovered and for a long time he had regressed and lost all speech, well

when we started getting him back. he spoke of things during that time . the

time we considered lost. He was there all along and remembers things I would

not expect being these were very young years

So don't give up hope and for hells sake don't listen to some dr the most

they can give you is a best guess on averages and their personal knowledge,

each person is an individual and no one knows your potential outcome. there

would be no way to quantify such .. and they know that

My son lost most of his speech, all eye contact, and stopped smiling after his

MMR and Vericella vaccines at about 16mos. of age. We did not find out

about/start biomed treatments/diet until right before he turned 7. He will be 9

in May and has increased his speech and communication skills drastically just in

the last 6 months. He has gone from not speaking at all, to speaking in

one-word commands, to now frequent phrases and sentences. He is still difficult

to understand in the way he pronounces words, but little by little, that is also

improving. Our kids are full of potential and possibilities! 7 is nowhere near

too late! Hang in there!

I agree. I lost a lot of confidence in my pedi when I asked why the armish who

did not vacccinate had no autism..She told me she believed the armish had a

genitic pre-dispostion for fighting autism.

Also, I told her the diff I was seeing in my sons behavior on probioitics(Better

attention/ better behavior etc) She said can't happen but if I felt better to

keep giving it to him.

HBOT is doing amazing things for us with speech too! My son who is seven has

never spoken, ever and now he's saying any word we ask him to,..... not much but

it's a great start. It's the weirdest thing to actually hear his voice! I would

definitely recommend HBOT!!

....we do a soft chamber, supplements, no diet...just enzymes.

Not having language and not speaking are quite different.

Does he pay attention to and respond to language?

Does he turn towards you when you talk?

Does he understand directions? (when he wants to of course).

Can he communicate noverbally, e. g. pointing, pantomime, body language?

Is he taking or has he taken any antiseizure medications?

Yes. I second this. Don't let the MD's who turn kids autistic for a living

My son is fully chelated, altho that did not help much with speech. What really

kicked off his speech was anti-fungals, anti-virals, and B vitamins, especially

B1 and B12. You can read his story here, it needs updating but most of it is

there.

If your child has ability to form sounds, already says some words, understands

when spoken too. Then " yes " , if you keep doing what you are doing to promote

language. Eventually it will come.

Language is a learned behavior (keep modeling it) over and over Don't stop

talking to him, reading to him,playing with him requiring an answer from him.

Model, model, model over and over. Green peppers, red tomatoes, yellow bus. Do

you want a cookie? Cookie, cookie. Say I want a cookie . Great!!! job .

Play pupets

Like Andy said a good indicator is can he communicate noverbally, e. g.

pointing, pantomime body language. But IMO most importantly is he has ability to

make sounds and form words. Then he can speak and it will come over time.

Play games, puppets and anything that require a response and interaction of him

to " promote language " . Holding back and prompting are very effective when done

correctly. Please look into the original verbal behavior by Dr Carbone.

He goes into great detail how to promote functional language.

My son didn't speak till after five. (He had about 20-80 words) then. When we

started biomed and had him enrolled VBA program, his language took off like you

wont believe. Today he does not stop talking.
