May son is already 2 yrs. old. Kinakabahan po ako kasi nakitaan namin sya ng mga red flags.

Eto po mga na observe namin:
1.Tip toe walking. Di naman po ganun katagal, usually wala pang 2 mins. Pag sinaway namin tumitigil naman sya.
2.Looking at the corners of his eyes. Medyo napapalimit na po ito, minsan kahit naglalakad sya.
3.Mahilig laruin yung gulong ng toy cars niya. Pero alam naman po niya kung paano laruin yung toy as a car. Palagi sya nakatingin sa wheels ng bike, car, tricycle, anything with wheels, electric fan, etc.
4.Medyo delay ang speech pero naiiintindihan ko yung daddy, bike, shoes, slippers, dede, etc.
5.Tantrums. Minsan umabot ng 1 hr yung pag iiyak niya.

Marunong naman po sya makipaglaro like catch the ball, marunong mag bye-bye at mag kiss(flying kiss).Minsan lumilingon sya pag tinawag ang name niya minsan hindi lalo na pag nanood sya ng tv. HIndi po niya ginagawa yung lining up ng toys.

May schedule po kami kay Doc Lazaro pero hindi na po ako mapakali. Tanong ko po is autistic po ba yung son ko?

Maraming salamat po.

sis it would be best if wait mo na lang evaluation ng son mo but usually first evaluation hindi sila nagbibigay ng diagnosis after pa ng therapy because they need to see how the child respond, but its good that your son interact with others and marunong din magimitate, dati din baby ko hindi consistent sa name response advised ng OT niya if hindi nagrerespond yung child itapat mo yung face niya sayo or lapitan and look face to face at the child para maging aware sila na sila ang tinatawag, OT also advised me to hold a stacking ring and place the hole on my eye while calling the child's name in that way naman it helps the child established eye contact while responding to their name paulit ulit lang ito siguro mga 3 rounds, if you want you may try to do this while waiting for your son's assestment, ngayon naman very consistent na baby ko sa name response but i still play this game with her gusto kasi niya...

ay sori poh my bad hehe, we went first to dra falcotelo but we'll see dr lazaro this month, kelan poh schedule ng son niyo?

if you want daddy try niyo na din poh yung namention ko earlier yan din kasi ginagawa nung therapist before sa anak ko much better nga pala if you will do this infront of the mirror, lessen his TV time and sing nursery rhymes together with actions infront of the mirror din much better poh...

May 10 po schedule namin. Kinakabahan na talaga ako. Last saturday medyo nabawasan ang kaba ko, pag uwi ko sa bahay may bagong tinuro si mommy kay baby (in denial pa kasi si mommy). She asked our son "how old are you?" then my son replied "two" as in lound and clear and consistent po yung sagot niya pag yun ang tanong. Hay sana paranoid lang ako.

^good to hear that Bro, all the best on May 10.

Here's an update sa assement ng son ko. The doctor is not convinced that my son is autistic. He said he wants to see more. He said that the symptoms that I observed are "non-specific". Since 2 yrs. old pa lang daw son ko makikitaan daw talaga ito ng autistic like attitude kasi present daw talaga ito sa ganung age. When the doctor tested my son nag-rerespond sya normally though he mentioned about the hearing ability (responding when he was called) medyo dito sya concern. Also medyo  delay din daw ang speech niya. The doctor recommended OT and more exporuse daw ng son namin sa outside world and social interaction. Also we have a follow up check up sa August. Right now naghahanap kami clinic malapit sa place namin for the OT.

I really don't know how to express my happiness. After the check up I kiss my son so many times to the point na umiyak na sya sa inis. I would also like to thank this forum para sa mga reply nyo and sa mga info na nakuha ko dito.

To all the parents out there facing the same dillema as I did and for those parents with autistic child, please don't stop praying for your child. I would also like to recommend to bring your child to Kamay ni Jesus sa Lucban. Meron silang healing mass every Saturday  9:30 am (meron din weekdays pero di ako sure). I brought my child there the moment we saw the symptoms. I believe that God's intervention is the most effective and most powerful than anything else.

wow nice to hear that daddy buti na lang maaga niyo na din napacheck baby niyo i heard dr lazaro is really good sabi ng therapist ng anak ko pati ibang mommy na nakakausap ko sa school, my baby's assestment with him will be on may 31 but ngayon pa lang kinakabahan na ako, i hope everything will turn out well din, OT lang poh ba nirecommend ni dr lazaro?

Yup OT lang po. And he also adviced more exposure daw sa tao, ilabas daw namin ng madalas, kausapin palagi, bawasan and TV ang yung mga moments na mag-isa lang sya.

^good to hear that bro, anak ko delayed yung speech pinasok ko sa toddler class, hindi pa yung everyday ah? pero ang laki ng improvement super

Kaso nasobrahan na ata sa confidence, dati kung lalabas kami ayaw mawala sa tingin namin, ngayon explore ng explore katuwa naman, lahat ng tao sasabihan ng HI & BYE, ganun kasi sa school niya

Let's continue to support each other, nakaktuwa kasi kapag may nakakaintindi

Mommies help! Based sa experiences and knowledge nyo, kindly assess my niece' condition. Feeling ko kasi even w/o check up, she has this autism prob. based on her traits/practices below, madali pa kaya syang maka catch up as she's already turning 4 this August? Some of them I personally noticed whenever I visit them. Yung iba kwento ng mom ko. Wawa naman kasi, hindi ko din alam pano sasabihin sa sister ko, feel ko in denial pa sya plus dami pa ibang prob yun kasi sya lang work dahil me sakit hubby niya. Thanks!
 
Till now,
- She still doesn't speak / does not respond to her name / no eye contact
- can't follow simple command
- flap her arms
- line things (fave niya yung mga bottles ng lotions, perfume etc)
- looses words that she initially learned kahit 2 lang yun
- super gabi matulog and ang ingay ingay
- picky eater / puro milk
- she doesn't appreciate toys. she prefers soap or cereal boxes
- very engrossed w/ long hair. whenever she would saw anyone w/ long hair, she would grabbed and would lovingly keeps on stroking na parang nag rerebond hehe
- sabi ni Mom, she loves looking at colorful pictures kahit maghapon niya gawin yun
- sinisira yung dolls niya to the point na parang chop chop victim kahit rag doll pa yan.
- nung 6 months sya medyo kinabahan na ako kasi she would sometimes continuously
move her head left and right
- hindi talaga pwedeng wala syang bantay lagi sa sobrang likot. parang lahat ng bagay aabutin

^sis pa assess niyo na sa Dev Pedia yung Pamangkin mo, if you could sponsor it better para maassess ASAP

[chardonnay]

yun nga rin isip ko sis kahit medyo sapat sapat lang ako lately dahil kakapanganak ko lang din. And since mommy na nga rin ako kaya mas na concern ako. Prob ko na lang pano ipilit sa ate ko. Thanks thanks!
