QUOTE(panda-man @ Feb 2 2016, 02:59 PM) hallo. father of a 18 month boy checkin in. congrats bro. level up! ---- now... what is there to discuss? i guess one worry i have now is speaking. so far my son is 18 months. but still cant really talk properly. he can make tons+tons of animal noises though. which is freakin hilarious... but for words just single syllable words. baba mama dada nana etc. cant seem to sound out two sounds like bana or maba or that type of thing. people say boys speak late. but its still a worry. when did your kids start stringing sounds together My boy is now 2.5 years old & yea, same worry as you're having too. He's not speaking much but I do see some improvement the last few weeks. I had to force him to speak up when he wanted something or else I won't do it for him. Me & my wife have been discussing if we should throw him into nursery ASAP so that he gets to mingle around with other kids. Also been thinking of speech therapy for quite some time now but I guess I'll consider it seriously when he hits 3 & still lotsa baby talk.

While I'm not exactly sure how much of what he said is considered as "build sentence", he can definitely relate an object with colour (blue car), he is capable of going through ABC-Z, 1-20'ish & he is able to comprehend my command. It's just that majority of stuffs coming out from his mouth are still baby-talk or a mixture of 70% baby talk, 30% comprehensible English. I must also said that he is very stubborn or in better term, strong-willed. He will ignore me if he's doing something else & sometimes he's very moody (which is kinda like his mom) when interrupted. As such, a lot of time, me & my wife felt that he didn't have much eye contact with us which is 1 of the factors that got us worried. In fact, my worries of him being autistic is 1 of the few reasons why I kept rejecting my wife when she asked for a sibling for him. This post has been edited by talexeh: Feb 3 2016, 09:25 PM

11pm - he start to sleep, around 20-30min he will sleep soundly
1am or 2am - his 1st cry for milk..he didn't actually wake up and open eye, just crying for milk
4am or 4.30am - he cry for milk again
6am to 7am - cry for milk again, this time need to put in cradle else he wont stop crying.. will sleep until 10am then wake up and bath

We did it slowly. Unfortunately he still wakes up but not for milk. Wake up give him a sip of water then he KO again. Still dunno why he gets so thirsty at night. Before sleeping around 10-11pm. He drinks 200ml milk AND 100ml water. Then can sleep.... strange. But easier than waking up, buat milk. Check milk. Blah blah hahah.

Pediatrician encouraged us to give him solid before sleep as he might get a little hungry if he only had milk prior to his bed time. You can give that a try. However, in my case, it's kind of a season thing. There are weeks where he slept soundly throughout the night, weeks where he would wake up too early (like 5am) & weeks where he would wake up in the middle of the night for milk. I've gotten a bit used to it so no more complaints... unless my wife got woken up by the ruckus.

My son is hitting 3yo this July, but he's been in kindergarden/day care since beginning of the year. We all struggled (My son, wife and me) and it was a horrible experience. For the first 2 weeks he was crying all day and night saying "I don't want", not willing to go to school and all. Got to know from the teachers that he's not used to the new environment and there were many other kids there which he's not familiar with. But when me and wife checked with the teachers again this week, he's doing great at school, learning to scrible and play bricks with the kids... And I heard from wife that, the teachers noticed girls like to hang out with him, like all of the girls from the whole school... Now that really give me mix feelings... hahaha... But I'm really glad he can mingle around well now at school. Only problem is, he still has his morning crankiness which refuse to eat and "can't wake up" kind of attitude.

Glenagles Penang? I'm from Penang & TBH, I'm not very fond of the child development psychologist that's stationed in Glenagles Penang. Pretty sure he's hearing is OK but I'll monitor. Sigh... being a parent is no fun with so many things to worry about.

i have a son with high level autism. It's ADHD and Asperger's Syndrome. Let me know if any father have questions.
There is another thread on autism but not one seems to be interested to contribute. In fact according the austism educators a lot of parents are still denial about their kids having autism. A lot of autism are mild and the child will look normal but they have temper issue and speech issue which the parent do not want to seek help. They keep denying their kids having problem and afraid that their child get labelled as "crazy" or "nuts".
Plus a lot of old folks (the grandparents) who knows nothing about autism simple says things. They just get info from other grandparents and say the child is ok, no problem..the issue will "go away" when the child grow up. By the time they grow up as teen, it will be too late to seek help.
Autism never go away. It can be intervened. The child will be taught how to handle his/her issue but there is NO CURE for it.
