Confused of Dx so frustrated

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I did a assessment on my child that is on line. One thing I notice was his

numbers went up more when I had to fill out the speech part of the assessment.

So he is moderate autistic. I should go back an d do it and put a false negative

on there and say his language an d speech is fine and see what the heck dx it

will give. My son is not social but looks at kids and touches them with

interests but has no idea what to do with them. Could this be his lack of

communication or autism? Its so hard to figure this out.

He has never line toys up . However he never plays with toys or has use his

imagination. He did walk on his toes at on e point . I address yeast and that

went away.

What type of speech therapy has been most helpful ? What are things I can do

to help my son increase his language . He is not nonverbal he is limited

expressively communication. When he does say words while repeating his speech is

not as bad as I thought. He has his " th's " sound like " f's " . I appreciate any

help . I feel if I can address his apraxia and his dyspraxia my child would be

so different.

I have done ABA for over 2 yrs and really I saw some progress, but not enough

for the price. He still has difficult times to imitate things correctly. He

tries to do thumbs up for example but he can not keep his thumb up just has his

figures curl and thumb is down .

sorry for rambling on . I am missing a big piece here to help my son.

Best
