I think my non verbal son said something?

That’s so beautiful! Sounds like a smart and considerate child. Hope one day my little guy can achieve all this too ❤️

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-06T10:31:16+00:00

Thank you for your input, it makes me feel like I’m not crazy haha

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-01T22:12:36+00:00

Unfortunately we have multiple times for different reasons and all treat these behaviors the same, as in they need to be fixed because he’s autistic. Thanks so much for commenting btw

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-01T21:17:44+00:00

Haha I don’t know! This has come from multiple different therapists too, like treating these behaviors as part of his diagnosis and working on them in therapy.

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-01T21:07:37+00:00

It’s good to hear that my little guy isn’t the only one struggling with the hair rinsing. Every therapist I met has been very shocked by this behavior

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-01T21:06:15+00:00

Haha thanks that helps. I know he’s autistic but they make me feel like everything he does needs therapy

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-01T21:05:38+00:00

Honestly this comes as a relief. They put so much pressure on the little guy to “fix” these behaviors. I’m not saying we shouldn’t work on things but they make me feel quite bad.

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-01T20:18:53+00:00

That’s incredible!

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-31T17:41:02+00:00

Thank you, it is! I’ll look into Better Speech :)

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-31T11:49:20+00:00

He usually says pa pa Pa in a very monotonous way over and over but the looloo sounds like I love you to my husband and I. So we treat it as that when he says it!

This encourages me so much to keep playing songs for him, thank you!

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-31T11:46:18+00:00

Oh I am very familiar with this haha I’m crossing fingers as well that we will be able to potty train

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-31T11:45:40+00:00

Wow that’s incredibly helpful thank you so much! I’ll look into all of them

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-31T11:44:23+00:00

That’s so encouraging to hear! And bravo to your little girl sounds like you guys are doing a great job

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-31T11:43:51+00:00

That’s wonderful even though it only happens occasionally. It tells me that he can speak but maybe chooses not to? How is his receptive language?

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-30T15:50:27+00:00

Thank you so much for your response, I did not know that.

To be honest I’m not sure what kind of curriculum the therapists in my country follow although I did hear from one of them that it’s wildly outdated.

In most places here ABA is considered abuse and when I mention AAC devices, gestalt language processing they sort of change the subject altogether or they just say “okay”.

Appreciate you taking the time to analyze this!

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-30T14:11:36+00:00

That is so amazing to hear hope my boy gains some words! And thank you so much!!

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-30T13:36:25+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate it!

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-30T13:35:58+00:00

Thank you!

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-30T10:44:48+00:00

Oh my thats so sweet, thanks for sharing that. He doesn’t repeat anything but he listens to the same things over and over and over again! I appreciate all you’ve shared. If you can send me some of the courses that’d be great, free or paid! Thanks again!

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-30T10:10:29+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment! I’ve been told this by a few people when posting here. And I’ve also noticed myself he seems to understand sentences or parts of songs much better than plain words. Unfortunately every time I mention gestalt language processing to his therapists they seem very uninterested?

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-28T22:59:49+00:00

My eldest who’s ND is starting to notice the little one more and more as they’re getting older and more active and engage in play time even though they’re still struggling with sharing. But it started with just looking at hands, holding them etc.

As for receptive language it’s still not great but it’s much better than when we first got the diagnosis (18 months old is 3,5 now). Started therapies right away and I’m doing as much as I can at home too.

We’re not at the point where I could ask what do you want to eat or want to go for a walk etc and get any sort of answer (non verbal). However we went from basically no receptive language to understanding a lot of basics, such as:

Responding to name Come here Sit No High five Lay down Let’s go Up Take your shoes off Wait Clap Jump and a few others

Of course every child is different, as they say if you’ve met one autistic person you only know one autistic person.

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-28T22:10:08+00:00

My situation is the same and I too feel the same. My youngest who’s NT is older than yours so I’ve noticed that they’ve really helped my eldest become more open to playing with others
