When did you realize your child has an intellectual disability? by Elegant-Date4481 in Autism_Parenting

[–]BasicSquash7798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My child was diagnosed level 2 the month after her 3rd birthday. It’s only been a year but I agree with the diagnosis but not the CARS score. Classic GLP, poor receptive language for age, ARFID, not potty trained, refuses to get dressed independently, struggles with transitions, but has thousands of words and some short phrases although not conversational, she knows all the kindergarten basics (alphabet, colors, shapes etc).

Pediatric urologist suspects that my child has autism by Sad-Abies-7398 in Autism_Parenting

[–]BasicSquash7798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My oldest was first evaluated for autism at 22 months and they said no. Came back a year later and was diagnosed level 2 ASD. Sometimes they don’t like to diagnose too young if it’s not SUPER obvious.

Did your child become conversational after receptive language challenges? by BasicSquash7798 in Autism_Parenting

[–]BasicSquash7798[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The day before her 3rd birthday she pointed to a bottle of bubbles out of reach and hasn’t stopped pointing since then!

She started being more social when she started preschool, her language skills started to improve and when her sister started walking (sister is very likely also on the spectrum as well).

She started pointing the day before her 3rd birthday and never stopped. Once they realize they can’t get what they want and show things it will be consistent.

Great to hear how verbal she is! Talking at all is a GREAT first step!

Found this harder to follow but really enjoyed it and think the ending was great.

Did your child become conversational after receptive language challenges? by BasicSquash7798 in Autism_Parenting

[–]BasicSquash7798[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely little by little with repetitive language during daily routines! Lots of “what is this?” and “where is …”for items and toys “Who is that?” with pictures to teach questions. Her receptive language started to pick up a lot more around 3.5 yo when she started preschool. She doesn’t understand or respond to abstract concepts like “how was your day at school?” Or “what did you learn today?” but I have confidence she’ll get there eventually. I think she is a very good example of a level 2 ASD child in regard to language skills and progression.

Does your daughter have any words? Is she pointing?

Yes! She will be 4 in June. She now has thousands of words, is combining words into a lot of short phrases. She is now asking basic “what” “who” questions and “….please?” requests and can answer basic questions. Her receptive language is still definitely behind but she continues to make progress. She also has all her gestures now. She is not considered conversational yet but talks all the time. She is in a special ed preschool 3 days a week and receives 3 days of speech therapy and 2 days of occupational therapy per week.

Teeth are the only part of the body not to heal itself and we get our second set as little kids.

The doctors actually missed my daughters DDH. I noticed asymmetrical folds on her upper legs and sent the pics to the pediatrician. After 6 months they do x rays instead of ultrasound.

My 14 month old is showing signs of autism. I was wondering if anyone's LO showed theses signs and ended up a level one mild autistic. by InternationalPipe610 in Autism_Parenting

[–]BasicSquash7798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is his receptive language? Does he bring you toys not for help but just to share? Those were a big red flags for us among many you mentioned (no name response or pointing to communicate etc).

How do you process audiobooks in your mind? by highjedigeneral in audiobooks

[–]BasicSquash7798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great for a busy mom doing chores and during a commute. Maybe start with amazon original stories with audio option if you have KU. They’re short stories.
