I promise the last question today

Putter is apraxic, as are a lot of kids with autism. But you can be apraxic

without being autistic. Apraxia can be overcome, in fact, without autism,

it is generally overcome. It just takes a bit of work.

I would do a google search on apraxia; I know I have seen websites, but

don't recall them at the moment.

Hi

I don't know if apraxia is common with Autistic children however I thought I

would ask here. A good friend of mine was just told that her daughter (27

months) have/may have apraxia. She is very upset and knows very little about it

so is also very scared. Does anyone here have any experience with this, know of

any good resources that explain it in lay-terms that I could pass on to her. I

think it would help her to hear from other parents

Thanks in advance everyone, this group is the best!

Warm Regards

Thanks Salli!

I do not believe there is any autism flags and her receptive language is tested

at only a few months delayed and her expressive at like 4 months delay but her

articulation issues are moderate (this is what the report said). I do not know

anything about this disorder.

I will pass this along, I think it will make her feel better!

Yep...apraxia is VERY common in the DSI/PDD population (secondary to

the sensory issues); but it is also a separate entity that can have

*many* different expressions. A really good resource is:

Yes, very common. However it can also be by itself.
