Callmemike: Okay. I'll also assume either of you or both of you (i.e. his parents) have a post graduate degree. Right? |

Cyberknight: Callmemike you see what the poster above wrote was what I was trying to communicate to you but I don't like assumptions and making it seem that the owner of the thread is not intelligent. You will be surprised. I have an experience similar to that. A family had their baby in October. Fast forward to first week of December, the baby started dropping off weight instead of gaining. Only one doctor that came from US for routine checks in her private hospital finally found what was wrong with the baby. This is after the couple had gone to LUTH, LASUTH and Eko Hospital. The experience was horrible for the couple and that was their first baby. So mate, seek a second opinion. There are good hospitals in the South-East and South-South. Explore them. Else find your way to Lagos. The name of the clinic is Outreach Women and Children's Clinic.. Google them up. They specialize on women and children. One of the former MDs works with a state in the South-East. I'll make contact and forward her details to you if you are interested. 2 Likes |

Callmemike: Don't overwhelm the kid with tests, therapy and dissertations. He is okay just a very late developer. There is a kid in my neighbourhood born 2013 just started rushing words now with no clear pronounciation while his playmate of just 2+yrs speaks clearly like a 5yr old but the boy's speech is now improving by himself.

Callmemike:It's well, I hope you find the speech therapist soon, my daughter is just 3 months to her 3rd birthday and she is non verbal , her doctor ruled out altism too cos she is a social butterfly, takes her command very well, very good with pussles, like my iPad and can play games and can mimic her nursery rhymes and dance to it.She goes on errands oh and is already potty trained. A whole lots of things kids her age has not even grasped. But verbal communication is very little, just little words like, take, okay,hello etc. she just started with a speech therapist a week ago, We are hoping for improvement by her 3rd birthday so she can start pre school with her mates come this September. I wish we acted earlier, people were telling us to leave her alone to develop at her pace but there is nothing wrong with helping them along. 4 Likes |

Callmemike: Lastly, in everything keep an open mind. Different people will come at you with different opinions and viewpoints. Some outlandish, some frankly stupid, some with a grain of truth wrapped in nonsense, some commonsensical, etc. You need to be able to listen and sort them out. The internet is a very helpful resource, you will find that there is a lot of help there. You also need to find someone hardheaded and down to earth who is having or has had the same issue and compare notes with them. THAT IS FUNDAMENTAL, you simply cannot do this alone, especially being in Owerri, where these types of services are limited, if present at all. I found that out. Look into it and jisike.

Okay, I didn't get to see this thread earlier and wishing I commented before now, I had same issue with my nephew, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your kid, he's just an introvert, you will have to limit his computer usage, gaming with your phone, take techs very far from him and introduce Barney, download as much as you can and start introducing him to it, give him six months and thank me later. 2 Likes |

dfrost:I do not think it's autism as only the speech seems to be a source of concern. For autism to be suspect, there would need to impairment of understanding speech as well as using it to communicate as well as difficulty with social interaction alongside other behavioural issues. 3 Likes |

My son had same issue.He's snapping out of it.Engage in conversations with him..Get him to communicate often.He will be just fine. We are lucky.Research has shown that when kids with speech impairment eventually snap out of it(which of course they will),they become fire.. So don't worry.You have an extraordinary kid there. 2 Likes |

OP, please be at rest and trust God for your son. My daughter had similar delay in speaking and I was so concerned despite my wife being a medical doctor. We made her start school very early in the US yet no change, however she could sing from morning till evening. My daughter only picked up talking when her younger sister was born and started talking ahead of her. To cut the long story short... my daughter is now a talkative...she is 8 yrs old now, still sings alot and plays the Piano very well...and of course now hyper social...�� 2 Likes |

Hello, Please be careful with your boy. My son had the same, its a developmental issue. Yes he could be said to be Autistic but Autism has a broad spectrum (from level 1 to 11). Your son would probably be on the low spectrum. In Lagos there is a very good speech therapy clinic, they helped my son with tremendous improvement. You can contact them, maybe they might be able to link you with a professional near you. Check there website http://jjcalvaryspeechtherapists.org/about_us.html 1 Like |

The OP said it all, I have similar case, my daughter 4years 3months is suffering the same problem! We have been to series of expertise and hospital, we get a speech therapist but to no avail. All I could tell my wife now is to be patient as she is always down with thought of different things as my little twins of 2years 2months have also followed suit. Please we need help! |
