hi, my 2 1/2 yr old son has been diagnosed with global development delay but i think theres more to it. he has been seen by a peadiatric doctor, physiotherapist, O.T., social worker, speech and language therapist, health visitor and gp. i have looked into global development delay and think theres much more wrong with him. He headbangs and rocks, (would headbang all nite), has no speech or understanding at all ( just shouts at things when excited), is obsessed with dvd covers and books, (anything really with writing on it), doesnt play with any of his toys, just mouths everything he gets his hands on and recently has started to go round and round as if to make himself dizzy. i have a 1st cousin with autism and see my son doing some of the same things but he is not copying him as hes only met him twice. i have told this to my health visitor but she doesnt seem worried. i live in n. ireland. what can i do???
My name is yanti, I have 6,5 years daughter, Aini, that diagnostic with GDD. First time I knew somethingwrong with my daughter when she's 5 month. From that day she see the manykind of therapic, doctor etc. I have a suggestion for you, that's works on me. Pls take more time with your son. He's need you more than the other kids. If for the other kid you have 5 hours a day, for your son you most spend at leat 10 hours. Maybe.. its sound silly. But I proff it. My little Aini has more "life" annd "growing" when I am beside her intesively. I compare it when her situation, when I pay an expensive baby sister, and spend more time with the expert. Pls try this..., more... your love, more...your attention, more.....your kiss, more...your tears, more...your hope, more....your pray... + the expert hand (like the therapic, doctors etc) he can reach more than what he get now.
Just for your information, my liitle aini, walk at 2,5 years, talk at 4 years. Now in her 6,5 years old she can swimm, (her capability is on the 5 - 6 years) She like to help me clean the house.
And Pls. pls never compare your son with the other cildren. Its unfair. He has a special talent that noone have. Pls Love and except him like the way he is.
I and my family pray for your son goodness. I know someday You can proud on him more than you can image. And I know someday he will put your name high with what he can reach off.
