SHOULD I BE WORRIED?

Hi. FTM here and my son turned 18 months last week. I just really can't stop worrying that my son has some delays. I often read articles or topics regarding early signs of autism and maybe thats the reason why I became a little paranoid here. Acc. to the guides here on the page, my child's age should be saying atleast 10-15 words already and unfortunately, he is not. I wanna convince myself that maybe he is not ready yet but eventually he will be. Normal words he can say are, DADE, DADA, NO. But he can respond to anyone who's calling his name. He can also walk and run alone. He loves to dance, play and eat. I am just really thinking if he could be considered now as undergoing SPEECH & LANGUAGE DELAY. Pls. help me mommies. ?

hi momi hugs to u..ive been there seryoso! lahat na ata binasa ko na and lahat ng group chat pinuntahan ko na para makahanap ng kasagutan..my baby back then has never said any word na maayos as in. mag 2 na siya pero he is not consistent sa words, pag pinapaulit ko yung words nakatingin lang di nya masabi, tapos parang minsan ung feeling na di nya ako naiintindihan, nagtitiptoes pa then ang kulit. nag ask na din ako sa pedia and if gustu ko daw mapanatag ang loob ko i might as well find or consult a dev ped. Pero my hubby assured me na nothing is wrong..narealized ko din na di ako naging consistent sknya sa pag tuturo, hinde rin siguru masyado nakakausap kasi madalas naka tv so inayos ko sched nya, tinuruan ko and pinapasok ko sa play school kasi wala kalaro sa bahay aun nag improve.. ngayon kaka 4 lang ang daldal although makulit pa din at bulol, he is now talking and forming sentences napaka pilosopo na nga din. hehe. be consistent momi u can do it. if he looks at u kapag tinawag mo ang name, follows simple directions and walang repetitive actions he is definitely normal..but there is no harm in consulting ur pedia or dev ped kung ikapapanatag mo.

Lagi m lang sya kausapn na parang matanda anak ko 1 yr and 6 months d pa masyado nagsasalita pero pag kinkausap ko nakikinig and nauutusan na din paabot ng ganito ganun .. then pag naglalaro kami laro namin like asan ang ulo mata bibig tenga .. now alam nya na part ng katawan nya once sabihin ko asan ulo,tyan, etc. She knows na tinuturo nya na.. 😍 pero hindi sya msyado madaldal like other baby..

Hi mommy. Try to talk more often to baby, make an eye contact to him while you are talking, get his attention when you are talking to him, books with pictures could also help. Also, refrain his watch time if he do and increase his play time. You could also try asking him questions and observe how he tries to respond.

Try to consult sis. Pero my pamangkin kc Asawa ko and he's 2yrs old na pero d p siya nakakapag salita ng diretso.. give him time delayed daw kc talaga pag lalaki. Wag mo n lng I baby talk and kausapn mo lagi. My guide sa YouTube regarding sa pag bigkas ng mga letra.. everyday gawa k ng activity with him.

Thank you so much Mommies! ♥️ I am somehow relieved now with all of your advices. Every child is unique and whatever happens, whether my son has really some delays or not, he will always be special and we will love, guide & support him all throughout. God bless you all. 💖

Meron tlga mommy na delay lng ung baby d nman kc cla pare pareho ng pglaki d porke nka pgsalita na ung ka age nya dpat xa gnun dn.. Try to observe po in a couple of years ung iba kc mas nauna mglakad ksa mgsalita.. I think its normal lng nman masyado pa nman syang baby..

Okay lng yan sis. Baby ko nga 1yr and 4mos na dpa dn nkkalakad on his own. Di namin sya minamadali nag bbalance2 naman sya at bumibitaw gumagabay gabay pero takot pa tlga sya humakbang magisa. Matututo dn yan kung time na nya tlga. Wag nega msyado☺️

ang alam ko sa early autism is yung tiptoe-ing nila ang un clapping ng fingers nila,pero s speach naman po paramg normal naman may delay,kausapi neo lang lagi si LO,repeatative wors can help kasi mas nakukuha nila un kung paulit ulit po nila marinig

Kausapin nyo po lagi, wag po baby talk, kung pano po kau makipag usap sa adult ganun din po sa kanila..(no foul words please), mas madali sila matuto pati pag analyze sa mga bagay na nangyayari sa paligid nila..

Kausap lang sis. Para matuto siya magcommunicate more. May mga babies na delay. Kaya okay lang yan. Wait til 2 yrs old. Marami pa pwede mangyari. Don't worry too much. Wag ka mag overthink. Hindi makakatulong.
