Hello abit of a rant and looking for other people in the same situation.
My daughter is almost 2 and a half and doesn’t speak at all. She can say no, but repeatedly like nonononono and also understands tah She doesn’t seem to understand anything else I say either. She had her ears tested and they are fine she passed with flying colours. She doesn’t play with other children or interact with anybody, if I try to play with her she starts to hit nip bite and throw all with a smile on her face like she’s waiting to see my reaction?. I honestly feel like she doesn’t like me lol. She will come for a cuddle and fall asleep on me so she is quite loving.
She’s also never used gestures she never points to anything or look at anything I point too. She’s very limited with her concentration aswell. Now I understand she’s two she has her own personality and she could possibly just be behind with everything but I can’t help but think there is more too it. We have been referred to speech and language and a paediatric doctor also portage. I’m just wondering has anybody had a child like this and they change? Or have they been diagnosed with anything?
Thankyou.

I could of wrote this about my youngest daughter she was diagnosed with autism we had lots of speech therapy she did not start talking properly till she was 5 speak to a health visitor she might refer your daughter to speech therapy my daughter started pre school when she was2 they picked up on it straight away and they referred her to speech and language when she points to something and you know what she wants pick that item up and pick something else e.g if she pointing to juice pick juice up and pick up milk aswell say to her do you want juice or milk so she has a choice then try to encourage her to say either milk or juice this is just an example it’s one of the things speech therapist encouraged us to do, she will get there in the end hun I was told she would be non verbal! And now we can’t shut her up lol x
My son is 3.5yrs old. This was pretty much him.
At the Speech and Language Assessment they will give you information on how to help her concentration level and how you can interact with her, games you can play and language you can use.
You could also learn some macaton; this really helped our son to communicate as he picked the signs up quite quickly and soon started using the word.
Does she go to nursery or play groups? She may just need more social time with children her age to pick up on her talking and social skills.
It can take some children a longer time to understand language and then repeat it.
Her behaviour could be down to the fact that she can’t express how she feels/what she wants and there could just be a lack of understanding from both sides.
Communication is 85% non-verbal. You need eye contact and concentration before understanding language can be established. The actual talking come towards the end of learning and understanding Speech and Language.
My eldest was like this . We were referred by the health visitor straight away for 2 year funding to get him into nursery . We were also referred to speech and language and the paediatric team who started looking at autism .
He was finally diagnosed at age 5 . He is 10 now . High functioning attends regular school but still struggles in large social groups xxx
Hi maybe autism or something like that, my son has special needs and couldn’t communicate properly until he started school, plz don’t blame yourself or think she doesn’t like you, trust me although she may not show it you are her rock. Fight hard at the end of the day she’s your child and you know her best and if you think somethings not right then go to your GP. If you have a good health visitor/family nurse get them on board aswell. DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. Good luck chick xxx
My niece was like this she has learning difficulties when she was 5 she was at the age of two she’s now at the age of 7 working at the age of 5 so she’s caught up a year
Feel free to pm me . I still have everything wrote down from when he was a young age x
I’m going through the same thing so I’m no help. Just curious on others responses.
