Re: 2 year old boy with severe articulation issues

[Guest guest]

It's hard to say, two's often speak Dutch, it's pretty early for a severe

articulation dx, don't you think? Can the parents' understand what he says? Any

other symptoms? I know a lot of kids have speech problems due to sensory issues

and being kept on soft foods for too long. If there are no other symptoms and

the father was also speech challenged I'd be more inclined to believe it was

genetic.

[ ] 2 year old boy with " severe " articulation issues

My friend has a 2 year old son that was just diagnosed with " severe "

articulation issues. Apparently he talks a lot but is not able to say

several sounds.

Is this mercury poisoning? Is this indicative of more developmental

issues to come?

Or does this sound like just a true speech problem that can be fixed

with speech therapy? Apparently the father had some speech issues as a

young child.

Thanks

My NT son who is now 7, wasn't talking until he was 2 and most of it was not

very well understood by other people, although his father and I knew what he was

trying to say. Had a hearing test which came back fine. Was no mention of autism

with him as he showed no other issues. Speech was still a little difficult to

understand by age 5, but has absolutely no problems now with all sounds of

speech, although sometimes has a little trouble getting his words out. As long

as there are no other symptoms of autism/heavy metal poisoning, especially not

responding to name, hand flapping, etc, I wouldn't be too worried at the moment.

As long as there is speech, even though he's not getting certain sounds out, I

believe he will get there eventually.

Two of my kids had articulation issues. They were helped with this

combination, not sure which one/s it required, but the problem is gone

or almost gone now. Vitamin C, lysine, carnitine, mB12, TMG, folic,

and biotin.
