My son is 3yrs and 7months now but his speech is still not clear yet. He can talk quite alright but I'm the only person who understands everything he's saying.
At first I thought it will get better as his growing up but now I'm becoming more disturbed. Whenever he talks the people around me will be asking what did he say, do you understand all he says and so on.

My question is : will his voice become clearer as time goes by or there's cause for alarm. Please i will appreciate your suggestions.

Are you sure he isn't autistic?

Good question!
Your guess is as good as mine.

Have you observed his speech around other people, at school, with his playmates?

Yes he can say anything he wants to say but his speech is not so clear and fluent like the others

Alennsar:


What is autistic?

Does it appear like his tongue is curled when he speaks and he struggles I mean struggles to get the words out.does he makes more of sound that audible words?

None of the above except struggling to get words out but not all words and not all the time.

Seems uncertain. Try to see a pediatrician for professional advice.

Please let us know the professional feedback you get. I'm very interested as I'm handling a kid with such condition but don't want to project my opinions on this situation

Alright no problem

See a Paediatrician then see a speech therapist

How did it go Madam?

I apologize for not responding sooner but to be honest I didn't go to the hospital as you advised.
Most of the people around me will always encourage me to be patience and that his voice will get better as his growing up.
So I'm thinking maybe i should wait till when he's five years old. A woman shared her son story with me saying that he was just like my son but his speech got clearer now that he is five years old

Hello Sir,

My suggestion is to go with the best doctor for better treatment of your child, because if you take it lightly, then you find yourself in big trouble. This is about child future.

You Should Go with autistic child treatment in India with stem cell therapy. It is best treatment for your child and lowest price as compare to your country.

Thanks

We need to talk further on this. I used to have a therapist number that specialises in speech therapy.


As a medical professional, it's wrong for me to come out and say madam your kid is autistic, but the signs you've provided points to autism and it won't take much tests for the medical hospice to give you a proper and fitting medical report on this and then suggest ways on managing the situation rather than to live you in between even undecided than before


I would have made recommendations but I can't seem to place my hands on my old books for now.

For the sake of the child, I like to recommend visiting one or two more hospice and very multiple professional counsel you can make informed decision on how to best cater for your child's condition madam.

Take action and do not live it to chance. In the mean time, for improved cognitive development, allow me recommend you give the chance a cod liver oil capsule daily for asmuch as years if it can be provided to trigger his mental acuity and improve the child's brain power.

I'm very grateful for your advice and time. I will take him to the hospital as soon as possible. Many people are saying that im unnecessarily worried whereas i just can't bear seeing him like that.
I will go to the hospital tomorrow by God grace and I will inform you of what the outcome is. Thanks again

.He might be autistic. Does he simplify sentences. e.g instead of mummy want to buy me buiscuit. He says mummy buy biscuit in an unclear manner.or mummy me watch cartoon. most tym pipul close to them understand them perfectly. One i know is 7years. He says what a 7yr old is supposed to say. But only we that stay with him understand his speech. my friend say he speaks swahili. Bt na english oo. Lol.

@Lynx001: Oga na talk bring talk o.
The 7yr old you are describing here; that writes dogs for gods, d for b, ......p for d ......V for A has dyslexia. Dyslexia is a form of brain damage. The important thing to know is that they can use hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat this condition. Waiting and watching patiently does not solve problems. It will rather be a waste of opportunity to treat. More info to you if interested.

You're most welcome. Any hospital that handles padeatrics will do just fine


Furthermore, you can make recordings of your concerns about him and send them to medical professions online for expert advice. There are many medical professionals online that offer such service.

Alright then. The cold liver oil you asked me to give him is for how long?

Alennsar:

Its till you see the desirable results. The diserable results will tire you from further using it. Normally, kids are meant to be administered Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids to boost their cognitive functions for as up to ten years. I.e from little till 12 years old.


The fish oil capsules should be boosted with regular and plenty fish and vegetables in diets though because while the capsules supply Omega three, regular fishes I.e Titus supplies Omega six and vitamins. And vegetables balances the nutrients mix

Does he have other concerns besides his speech

My son does not have the above mentioned symptoms except for the speech issues. He is very brilliant and writes very well. He plays well too both with his sister and his classmates. He always lead his class, even his behavior is very normal but the speech is not very clear.

Not at all. I don't know maybe i should send a short voice recording of him reading the alphabet to you perhaps you may pick one or two things from it.

Good suggestion. Not just alphabets but full speech I.e a complete sentence or few sentences would do fine.

. gud to hear that. He will overgrow it. Or better still see a paediatrist. I thought it was learning problems lyk dyslexia and autism. But frm ur post he doesnt hv them

Good morning. Please i don't know how to send the audio recordings faa, i have been trying to send it since yesterday but I don't seem to get it.

You are the one worrying yourself, and it's a normal thing to do as a parent. Your child is okay, his speech will be clearer in due time. My son is also like that. He is performing well and can write very well, play with his mates very well and speaks very well too, just for him to be more clearer in his speech.

Just be teaching him how to pronounce things in a proper way, by 5 years he will outgrow it. My son's speech improves daily and he is doing fine.

I wonder where all these autism stuff is coming from.

Please, ur child is not autistic.

Their speech become mumbled when they talk too much at a stretch. Have you taken note of that?
