@Emma so hard! We don’t think he is a GLP as he has single words and starting to join two words together!
My friend little girl was non verbal completely into 4yrs old and then just had a language explosion. What helped her also was love and support as always but going to kindy and also having speech therapy. Thats great hes busy all day and is potty trained. He will be ok. You gotta get your expectations and anxiety down so you can not only support him but enjoy motherhood as much as possible. Youbare doing great
When my son started preschool when he was 3 he could only speak in one and two word phrases and he was not potty trained. He is now 8 and does almost everything a neuro typical 8 year old does. He sings and talks ALL the time. He went from having no imaginative play to playing like other kids do with his toys. He potty trained in a single weekend after months of me working with him when he was 4. I simply put him in underwear one day and poof he was potty trained. He still has some challenges with communication but he has come so far. He is super bright and does well in school. He has been in therapy for years and it has helped immensely! Have hope for your sweet baby. Count the things he can do and not the things he can't do...yet. My son was diagnosed ASD level 3 twice but if you met him you wouldn't believe it. No one can believe he supposedly has such severe autism. Hang in there mom!
Just want to say as a mum of a 2 year old reading these stories gives me lots of hope ❤️ thank you for the positive post, it can be easy to get sucked into the negatives and worry all the time
Thank you so much for this uplifting post
@Hira S ahh! I think it is so easy to be anxious and worried. I thought there must be positive stories ❤️
@Caroline hope more parents can add to here 🙂it sure is helpful
My son will be 5 in October and isn’t fully toilet trained. He got identified as a Gestalt Language Processor in November and actually using some strategies to help him, his speech has come on loads! He has never been fussed with his peers- would rather play by himself. But in the last couple of weeks, he has become more interested in what they are doing and trying to copy them as well. I know he will never be fully social but I don’t want him to always be on the outside looking in either. It’s hard isn’t it?
