My son did the same, he would point and say "uh uh" he is now 7 and speaks fluent English and some Afrikaans and also uses really big words and forms very long sentences.
@livelihood we just stuck with one language and lots of patience. We didn't use therapy but we homeschool and I just do lots of one on one with him and we also started talking more to each other in the home and he just started picking it up. We are a bilingual family so we brought it down to one language so he can manage one first but he is doing well and also understand the other language we speak very well and alot of words.
@livelihood I am so happy I can help. My son was non verbal for many years and didn't form sentences until 5years of age. He speaks very very well now, better than alot of kids his age so don't feel too worried, they get it right eventually 🥰🌈
Good video.. I was a late talker and didn’t talk until 4 years old... I almost got diagnosed with autism.. my mother had me in 2 preschools receiving intense education... and I caught up to my grade level in one year..
My son is 4 and he doesn’t have a conversation but he can says all his needs, he make eyes 👀 contact, he likes to play with others kids, the only problem is that he can’t have a conversation. and they just did the evaluation to see if he was autistic and he is not autistic !!!! Omg I was crying so happy !!
Aww what a relief, I am going through stress, my little one says everything what he wants, understands everything ( conversation not much) , academically great but his nursery just told me he isn't interacting with peers and he showed one major tantrum in school due to dispute over toy, just because of that they want to assess him, I am not sure what to do :'(
My husband just started small words barely understandable at 3. Then talking at a 2 year old left by 4 and by 5 he was fully speaking. We dont know why that is. I think my daughter is on the same path so shes been in speexh therapy since 2 so we can try and get ahead of it
My son's doctor did an assessment and said likely has autism. We are on the wait list for a developmental assessment. The waitlist is 2 yrs currently. Babbling no words , turns 3 in a month. Has a speech assessment in a few weeks. Not a fan of playing with others, responds to his name 50% of the time , excessive arm flapping and tippy toes walking. I will definitely check out more of your videos .
The waiting can be so frustrating. My online courses can help you teach him at home and help him gain skills much sooner. Join me for a free workshop for more info: www.marybarbera.com/workshops.
Hope all is well with your family. Has there been any improvements in the past year from your comment? My daughter is 2 years and 3 months and does all the same things
So we are still waiting for his assessment, it will be another year. He is in JK he loves it so far. We did OWL speech therapy program. He now can say names of objects, and will try to sing/ mimick songs in movies he enjoys. However we can't have a proper conversation yet. He does not hold conversations in class and still does more side play rather than direct play with classmates. We do have another baby now in the house and he is very loving and tries to help with baby. I will update once the full assessment has been done. We have seen occupational therapist as well, just to help with his relationship with clothes as he hates them lol.
The problem is at what point is it really Autism. Since this is a spectrum disorder where is the fine line where something more mild like ADHD becomes autism. I have always had some learning disability and concentration.
In India grannies say girl starts speaking at 18 months while some boys after 3-4 yrs..... But later boys are way quicker. So we just wait till that period, we don't panic. Note:- But if you see the baby is clueless not responding properly than you need to consult pediatrician.
Lol I started talking at age 2 and enrolled in school around at age 2.5 year . I was so bigger at age 2 everybody thinks I will grow upto 6 feet but I am only 168cm at age 16 😭
Great video. My child just turned 5 he has speech delay he is talking but not as much as he should be for his age. He has no problem with lights, noise, sleep, change of routine etc. He loves playing with kids and is fine with new people but just cant make much conversation because of the delayed speech. He sometimes flaps when excited but very less. He got seen by the pediactric as the school wanted him to get checked and the pediactric thinks he has autism. Me and my husband are little confused with this as we never seen him have any problems apart with his speech if we thought our child had more problems we would have gone to the doctors ourselves. The pediactric has diagnosed him with autism and we strongly believe he hasnt got it he just needs help with the speech. I wonder if anyone else has exprienced this
@@adilmushtaq3998 I have 23 months old baby she used to say mama when she was 12 months now she’s 23 months old not saying nun at all I think it’s a late talker cause most of kids in my family are late talker when I call her name she turn around when I tell no she understand but not answering me she have a doctor appointment coming up I’m praying God 🙏🏽🙏🏽 for everything to be ok
The same thing that our child is! He born 2017(5 yrs Old). and he talks less, not even less but its a few words not more than 15 words; and he is still trying to say some thing new. But the broplem he has intoe, and he walks like computer. We visited some doctors, they say he will be ok, and some of them say its an uatism. But who knows the secret behind it except Allah.
My 19 month old is not talking. Quite worrying as my other 4 children were speaking by now. I know children are all different but as a parent I can't help but feel concerned. She says mom and dad. She gives eye contact, hugs, plays with others, she displays intelligence and understanding. Understands words. Just the not talking is the only concern!
They told my wife's cousin there son was autistic. He has never spoken. This week he had he tonsils and adenoids removed and he hasn't stopped talking. The joy and the excitement to here him say mommy and daddy
@@trulyblessed8767 They are quick to diagnose autism based on “milestones.” Some children develop at a different pace or there are other factors that hinder their abilities- like your nephew. 🤷🏻♀️
My son is 2years exactly...he doesn't talk ...but he can recite ABC to Z correctly without mistake. And he can also count number 1 to 20 without a mistake. He calls out the names of people in the house and say nothing more. When he is hungry, he goes and get his food where it's kept and when he wants to drink water, he brings an empty cup... when you call him, he doesn't answer but will turn to you. he understands well.
Same girl my son can sing abc count 1-20 he says his animals and the sounds he can say bye bye hello and I think few other but I still have been told he’s delayed and autistic we are going for another time to see if he is or not :/ idc if he is but ide like to no
My child was the same as yours when he was two but didn’t call names, he is now 4 and calling names making very basic sentences but still hasn’t made enough of progress.
My 2 year old does all that, he doesn’t flap or tippy toe walk . He knows how to recite the ABC , numbers and songs. He’s very energetic and love to jump on the sofa. Outside he plate normally at the park and with my other son everytime he saw him he’d get his toys and play with him or run around the house with him
Autism isn't a forever thing . As far as it's symtoms . My little brother was severely autistic as a baby no eye contact didn't want hugs etc. He acted like a dog . He liked to be pet when he was happy ate food from a bowl on the floor growled at strangers. Come age 9 little by little behaved that way less and less. He started homeschooling. That helped alot. He now speaks perfectly works online and manages his money better than anyone else in the family. I really think if you can homeschool them makes a big difference bc they don't teach them much In public school and it probably causes stress bc many are very organized and are used to a schedule.
intermediate programming is really hard! I do have a course on how to help intermediate learners like him. go to www.marybarbera.com/workshops for a free workshop and to get started.
My two year old does this. He’s a late talker, doesn’t have autism. He says about 50-100 words like shoes, outside, he knows the dogs names etc etc. He acts just like a dog though, all day literally. He has a brother only two years older so idk what’s up with the dog thing lol. Pretty sure it’s a phase like you said your brother is going through.
My son is 19m old, and he doesn’t know any words at all, doesn’t know signs or gestures, he just gibber gabbers. His doctor referred us to a developmental specialist, and I’m not sure if it’s going to help or not. We go in August. Hope it works, fingers crossed!
My son is 18months and he only says no when we take something away or when we bring him inside before he wants to other then that he just speaks gibberish alot
My brother is 5 years old and he can’t even say a sentence but one or two words, he points at what he wants luckily he does respond to his name by yes. Overall he been repeating the same stuff with not much progress. He did get a speech therapist but nothing really changed. We make sure he’s around other kids and he’s in school has classes for speech problems. It’s to the point where a 2 year old surpass him.
@@BlessedDaph he’s 7 turning 8 this year on December.. he’s still behind but he can say a few words at a time and limited sentences.. verbally he’s at the level of a 3-4 year old.. but he is talented at other things that I couldn’t solve and right now I’m 18 years old attending Howard University
My child is three years and one month he hasn’t spoken he says mama and baba but he doesn’t really use it to call me, he just says it, but it’s really confusing because I don’t know if he has autism or not, there are these few times where it feels like he called me using it, but not always, also he doesn’t sit still when I want to hug him it’s like he wants me to be around so if I go to another room, he would follow me, but he would still stay somewhere where we have space in between, sometimes he does eye contact normally and sometimes he just refuses to look at you because He wants to play. Sometimes he laughs for no reason and jumps and runs. Sometimes he doesn’t express his pain so his brother could be literally beating him, and I wouldn’t hear him even scream. And sometimes he would scream at him and beat him to get away. And expresses pain normally saying booboo and coming to me to show me where it hurts. I noticed that when I get angry at his brother for beating him, he laughs. Seems like he likes it when his brother cries. I’m so confused in what should I do He hasn’t spoken or said any other word than mama and baba and “give me” in my language which is”iddi” Also sometimes he would cuddle with me and kiss me in a weird way. It’s not really kissing it’s like he’s trying to bite me, but with his lips instead of teeth, but I think that’s because I used to bite him like that because his cheeks are so cute and I want to bite him without hurting him, he only comes to me if he wants some thing for me he would drag me to the place and wait for me to give him the thing he doesn’t even point at things, I feel like I don’t understand him in a way where it really hurts me and makes me cry, I wish I could do something for him I took him to two doctors. One told me he might have autism. The other one told me he’s just fine and I need to wait and teach him words like it was just a speech delay. I’m so worried about him I was too terrified to admit it and label him with autism, but now I’m ready to just do anything to help him. It really breaks my heart since no one in my family was ever like this and they all already spoke under two years old..
My brother has autism and he's 7yrs old yet he doesn't speak , he's smart and understands us a little bit and if he want something he points it. But he doesn't speak, it's he's doesn't like to speak he lip sync the word but the sound of the word doesn't comes out
Iv just found your channel I’m feeling really lost I don’t know much about autism but with all the research and online tests I have done I think my 19 month old has autism but I’m fed up of people around me friends etc telling me they will develop in their own time which I know is true but my son was seeming to be developing okay but at around 15 month he has stopped pointing, no follow pointing, not playing or interested in toys , not listening to name , no speech at all, he understands some words but doesn’t follow simple instructions, no concept of danger, not interested in playing with children that much, loves lights and looks at them close up pulls to his face, doesn’t show me anything , doesn’t imitate. I’m starting to get upset that my health visitor or doctors keep telling me they can’t see me because of COVID-19. I’m in the uk and feel so helpless and upset with this realisation that he more than likely has it but I feel guilty for feeling upset about it x
I'm sorry, I have heard about it being challenging to be taken seriously in the UK but you are right to start fighting . Sometimes doing the MCHAT at mchat.org can help show there are red flags. I also have online courses that can help regardless of diagnosis. www.marybarbera.com/workshops for a free workshop
Hi just seen your comment and your situation and concerns for you little one sounds so similar to my little one and difficult situation we are in. My son is 20 months, I suspect autism and we are in the UK I'd love to connect privaftly and help support each other if you would like? Xx
Wow, so sorry to hear that about your baby. It really sounds like he was vaccine injured if he was developing well and all of a sudden stopped it probably was that. You should look into holistic medicine. I know a lot of people that experienced what you experienced and the holistic medicine helped them incredibly, not only that but also a different diet. Vaccines are not bad, it is how they are all mixed and how many they put at the same time. Look up for the truth about vaccines, it will help you, I promise. Best wishes to you and your little one. If you need more info I can share it with you.
My son is 2.5 years old, he will be 3 in May. He does lots of labeling talk, knows animal noises, can count to 5, knows his colors and loves to sing songs. He understands simple one and two step directions. He isn’t using his words to communicate what he wants though. (He is already in speech therapy) He does good with imitating, he loves imitating his 4 year old sister with what she does and says. He also responds to his name. Unless he is really occupied he won’t. He also makes quick eye contact but won’t stay looking at me as I talk to him. His speech therapist although she was not supposed to share this shared with me as a friend that she doesn’t think he is autistic. But I still worry. 😅
an slp is not qualified to screen for autism so they would not be able to say yes it is autism or no it isn't so you may want to see a full evaluation.
@@checkmatedeposit905 hi, my son is now 3 years old and still knows all of his words. He still repeats back what we ask him if he doesn’t understand the question like “How old are you?” He will repeat the question back to us. If I ask him yes or no questions he will respond back after a few times of asking him. “Are you hungry?” He will rub his tummy and say “hungry” and so I ask him again “Are you hungry?” and then he says “yes.” if he is thirsty for water he will put his water cup in my hand but not really tell me anything. Sometimes he will say “water” when he puts it in my hand. His eye contact is still not that good. He responds to his name but as far as looking at us while we are talking it’s not there. He was evaluated through zoom and it was a mess. He’s going to be re-evaluated as soon as they open it up for in person.
@@trulylovelybear sounds like he is still making good progress :) thank you for your reply. We are awaiting to be reviewed/evaluated, waiting times are so slow at the moment. We have had zoom SLT and they were a disaster, far better in person. My son is 27 months and only has a few words but his understanding is great. He has shown signs of regression of saying words once and then never really again. Eye contact has not been the best in prior months but he has made good progress through games like peekaboo. You read so much on the internet I think it puts you into a spiral of worry. Trying to remain positive and surround myself with families who have went through the process. Thanks again.
I came into this video in tears cause my 18 month old is hardly saying da when I ask him too. I feel a lot better now. Still worried and frustrated but feel better equipped. Since this comment got a little attention I figure I'd give a 4 months later update. Luke is 21 months old. Since my last comment he has made a lot of strides in many ways even if he's not talking like I want him to. I was wanting to see progress and I've seen it so I feel much better these days. His eye contact is normal now. He says dada and mama (which took a while) when asked and sometimes when not. He's making lots of different noises and his motor skills are way up. Now that the weather is nice he is a very happy baby and we are outside in the forest all the time. I'm stupid lucky.
I know an over 2 year old boy who didn't talk until he met a classmate who was very chatty at his daycare. Maybe you could try to create a similar environment for your babies. Let them spend time to other talkative toddlers. In my case, my 15 months boy doesn't say basic words such as mama, dada, hi, bye no matter how much i tried to get him to. However he says "stairs" because he likes to climb stairs, or "flower", "key" since he likes those objects, or "fish" because he likes goldfish crackers, or "up" because he likes to be picked up or brought up on a table. My point is that pay close attention to what your babies are interested to and encourage them to speak those words. Of course we need to introduce those words to them. Hope this helps.
Don't be so worried it's hard kid's do stuff at their own pace. My 18 month old said more words when she was 1 than now. Her doctor said she feels like she is being stubborn cause I want her to talk. But I'm going to start speech with her.
My son is 4 years 4 months and doesn't speak in sentences. It doesn't appear he has an intellectual development problem. He learns quite well. So, I'm curious about his speech. We are a multi language home. My wife typically speaks Tagalog or Ilicano. He understands all three languages, but still only replies in one or two words.
My soon have 2y and 9 months, he doesn't answer he's name most of the time, avoid eye contact sometimes , doesn't speak, he can count 1 to 100, sing abc, knows the colors, the shapes and the days of the week .
Omg same. Mine will be 3 next month and he’s in speech and has been getting better since. Im trying to get him into preschool then I’ll see a doctor to have him evaluated bc he’s just not saying what he wants or communicating with his words. God i am just praying man
This is quite common! It does sound like early signs of autism but only a professional who meets with you can know. I do have free workshops that can help you to start helping your child www.marybarbera.com/workshops
My brother is 2 years old and he does not know how to talk or point and he does not understand anything. The only thing he knows is how to say mama, dada and if I say “bravo!” He claps
My son would say panda,Tata and he would poin to the fridge when he wants his food at 1year 6 he would say ball ,car and Tata his now 1year 9 but still can't talk am worried and the fact that am not home
Hi Mary, I have a question related to autism and speech of toddler age children, do you think that healthy gut and proper diet has a big impact on children with autism? Since these kiddos can be very sensitive to food and texture of some foods, they like to consume very unhealthy rather foods and snacks. Thanks!
my son 21 months and he is not talking at not all not even mummy or daddy and lacks focus . He cries when he want something And only plays or watches tv all day . I’m bit worried as he is my first child and I don’t know what to do to help .
My son is 16 months and he will babble words like mama or papa, but when I say things to him for him to repeat he just looks as if he is uninterested. When it comes to playing he’s smart with figuring things out on his own. Most times I don’t have to help him. He also responds well to “No” and “Stop” but won’t respond to his name sometimes. He’ll walk around make a humming sound at random times but it has became not as frequently. I know others have said it might be because he isn’t around other kids his age and he will start when he wants.
Waiting and seeing is usually not a good strategy, but it sounds like he has nice skills and some things to work on. I do have a new book that can help you regardless of diagnosis check it out at www.turnautismaround.com
@tia my daughter just turned 21 months and does same thing but I feel they are still small and will get to the stage if they can figure out stuff on there own our babies will Speak soon and all kids are different
Thank you so much for this video! I am the proud widowed mom of Irish twins. My daughter is turning three in April and is diagnosed as level 2 autistic. My son just turned two last month, he is still not talking but he is so much different than his sister. It is so hard to tell if he too may be on the spectrum! Since I lost their father I'm doing this all alone. I was still pregnant with our son when he passed... I am just so terrified I am not doing enough or helping enough.
I'm so sorry for your loss...it sounds like you have your hands and heart full. If you want further help, my online courses can really be beneficial to you. In my courses, you'd learn how to increase language, reduce problem behaviors, and how to advocate for your daughter.

Hi Ma’am, My son is 20 months old . He says more than 10 words n some short sentences , labels many pictures, some numbers and knows how to match color puzzles and numbers . He is also very playful and attentive. But past few days I feel like he is avoiding eye contact sometimes even though he is involved in playing with me . Sometimes he even ignores while I call his name during playing . He used to come to me running and smiling whenever I called him . I am very stressed and anxious until the level I can’t sleep. Is this a typical behavior in his age ?
My son used to blable when he was 1 years old but when my daughter was born, he stopped blabbing. Now that he is 3 years old, he can show all types of animals, but still hasnt talked. He knows numbers, animals, weathers, shapes, colors and year calendar by pointing. How do you label this?
My son can say a few words.He know how to give me kisses and hugs but when I tell him to bring me something he won't do it.He is one year old though.He is hyperactive and sometimes he cries for no reason at all and he won't tell me why he is crying.HELP ME WITH THIS ONE
@@citizen-27 my Daughter is 2 and she only point and Gibbers. She will say (I’m done) but I think she is getting what she wants and not needing to talk And sometimes we get a mom or dada
Thank you for sharing your struggle. Although I couldn't tell for sure if your son has autism or not since I have not seen him in person. I suggest you observe him or have him checked by a professional.
I have a 17 month old daughter. She does understand me. When I give her shapes and colors to identify (which one is the purple triangle?) she is able to pick up the correct one. She does make and maintain eye contact. She enjoys her toy piano and books, able to turn pages one at a time without ripping them. Plays the xylophone with good hand control. She's not interested in a lot of different toys like other children, tends to fixate on a select few. Usually shows no interest in other babies and children. She will occasionally look at another baby, reach for their face, or try to pull off one of their socks. She does not make very many sounds, does say "baba" for bottle. That's about it. She claps hands. Does not point or wave. She doesn't share or hold out a toy to show me. Should I get her evaluated?
I love that you're paying attention while she's still so little! I would check out the CDC developmental milestones checklist for your little girl's age group and if you still have concerns, make a pediatrician appt. If you're looking to boost her language, my toddler course would be perfect for you! My courses and other resources can be accessed here: MaryBarbera.com/links-yt
Why is it that none of these videos ever addressed children who are growing up in bilingual homes? I'm American living in Brazil, everyone but me speaks Portuguese with my son and I speak only English to him. He'll be 17 months old in a few days and he still isn't saying any words. He understands many many things but seven out of 10 times he doesn't respond to his name. I don't know if that's because some people in the family pronounce his name differently than I do or if he just doesn't recognize his own name. Anyways I really really wish that somebody would address speech delays in children who grow up in bilingual homes.
@@limejuice7467 my son's name begins with the letter "R" and ends with the letter "t". In Portuguese the letter "R" makes the sound of letter "H" in English and in Brazilian Portuguese the letter "t" is pronounced as "ch". So while I am pronouncing his name as we do in English, "Robert" , everyone else in the home says, "Hoberch" So possibly he might not recognize his name when I say it because it's so different from the way everybody else says it. Robert / Hoberch. Understand now?
@scent, i am in the same boat with you. Bilingual home. My kid started talking clearly at 5 and my 3 year old is not talking but has hit all the other milestones specteculary
8 months is quite young, it depends if it is paired with other red flags. You can contact your local early intervention for a free assessment. Also check out the cdc early steps milestones.
Hello, my just turned 3. He doesn’t talk much. He can only say up, 2, please, apple and he can almost say cheese fully and ya instead of yes. He can count to 5 with his fingers but only says 2&5 verbally. He understands most commands and responds to his name. Aside from not being where he should be verbally he has a hard time sharing toys, making eye contact, and he makes other babble noises and yells a lot when He plays or gets really excited. I don’t know if it’s speech delay or autism and I don’t know what direction to head in. I feel lost as a mom
it is hard to know without knowing him but usually at that age a full developmental evaluation is best. Regardless of diagnosis , I have courses that can help build language. check out a free workshop www.marybarbera.com/workshops
My daughter is 18 month. The doctor said she is delay in her speech. But we are multilingual family, speaking 4 language. She understand and respond to us when we speak. But she haven't really talk....should I be concerned? Also my little brother and little cousin start speaking English more once they go to preschool. At home our parent speak our language.
If she is delayed in speech then it is good to start intervention. Regardless of what it is caused by, you want to get started catching her up. My book is helpful for young toddlers with delay. Learn more here www.turnautismaround.com
my son his 2 years old before he clocked 2, he has been saying few words like mum dad, reciting cartoon song and responding to greet, suddenly he stopped talking.
I’m a little worried about my son. He just turned 2. He doesn’t say much. Single, three letter words he can barely manage. Babbles a lot. Was a head hitter when he was younger but I don’t see much of that anymore. His receptive language is ridiculous. Completely comprehensive. He will do anything you ask him to do. Knows all of his body parts by name. Knows colors and shapes. Knows names. Knows food. He knows like EVERYTHING. He can sign a few desires by sign language (more, all done, pointing). He just doesn’t talk. Like. At all. His mechanic skills are nuts. His temperament is amazing. Very patient. Very happy. Very skillful. But he has no desire to speak.
This perfectly describes my son who turns 2 this month. Ahead in receptive language but won't really say anything except "uh oh". I'm not sure what's wrong. He's started speech therapy but I haven't seen any progress yet.
Well just because he does not speak don't mean anything man. My brother throws fits, throws objects, babbles a lot and is pointless to try and calm down. Be great full first what you have man.
I have techniques that can help build his language. Check out a free workshop here www.marybarbera.com/workshops . It is good he is not head hitting anymore!
QUESTION - Over the last 20-30 years have their been a change in the age kids develop.. or has their been an overwhelming amount of inconsistency of the average age kids start developing ???
I understand that must be scary. My new book can be found at www.marybarbera.com/newbook and will help you with a step by step guide for your children.
My brother points at things like birds and he points at things he wants, he makes eye contact but it’s brief, he knows his name but he doesn’t always look at us or acknowledge us when we call him, he also grabs our hand and takes us to things he wants, he does get shy with strangers, he doesn’t talk only says gibberish talk and he picky with food spits out anything he doesn’t like.
My son is 13 months and this is exactly what he does I keep telling my husband I don't think it's normal but he gets upset and say he'll talk and do things in his own time. I want to see a Dr to know if it's a problem now when he's still small.
My daughter is 19 months old and she does not talk yet and she doesn’t listen when we call her name I’m a bit worried she’s watching tv most of the time maybe it has something to do with it.
I'm no expert but yes it could be too much tv. As my just turned 2 year old watched plenty of tv. He also didn't respond to his name much or speak much, only maybe 5 words he would say randomly. I got advised to limit his tv watching and within 3 weeks his focus noticeably became more of whats being done and said around him and he started babbling so much more, trying to talk more. Now 2 months later he is babbling away , most of it is unrecognisible but he is trying hard to copy us. I have limited his tv, turn it off most of the day now. I think tv does distract a d delay some children in speech. Try to limit screen time and see, give it atleast a couple of weeks to see if any difference. Good luck
I know it's easier said than done, but just take things day by day and have every expectation that he will talk! You caught the signs very early and that is going to be a complete game changer for you
What is ABA ? When is it too early in your opinion? My son is 14 months, we are babbling, trying to step, I don’t think he doesn’t understand most things we say to him, he only used his index and middle fingers on both hands. He’s in PT & OT once a week ( I don’t feel like that’s enough 😢) and I am working with him at home but he doesn’t mimic, hes always overly excited when I clap, he’s not trying to clap on his own either. Also not doing and gestures, HOWEVER we just started to get him to hold and bring the spoon to his mouth so now we are working on him actully getting it out of the bowl. Thanks in advance
ABA therapy is basically a science for changing socially significant behavior, we use positive reinforcement to increase behaviors we want to see like talking! I have a full online course for parents like you to learn step by step how to support your child at home and 14 months is a great, early age to start.

My son is 2.5 years old and still has zero words. He’s been working with a speech therapist for 7-8 months. He’s using sign language & understands so much. I’m hoping it’s not autism. 😭
HEY MS. BARBARA MY SON JUST MADE SEVEN LAST MONTH AND SILL ISN'T TALKING I MEAN HE SAYS YEA, MA, and we, but I would love it if he can say more then them 3 words what can I do to speed up the process and get him to say more words other than those three oh and he was diagnosed with autism spectrum so if you would please let me know what I need to do to speed up the process and get him TALKING and I would greatly appreciate it
It may be or may not be but you can help now. I have techniques that can work and can train you how to do it. Check it out www.marybarbera.com/toddler-ws
Did they not assess your son when he went into speech therapy? Just from my own experience i can relate to you. My son was the same, no words, no animal sounds, just some "uh" sounds and was very good at communicating in other ways. Understands almost everything and can follow directions (age appropriate understanding ofc). My gut feeling is hes LAZY and ive found examples of it with him in other things too. He knows he doesnt have to try something new because mommy will do it for him. I understand him so why bother trying a new scary thing? Mom will push my bike so i dont have to learn to peddle etc. What i can tell you that helped me was watching these types of videos on yt (even if its not autism most games work with any child). I found a few games or methods that seemed to get my sons attention more than others. Focusing on single/2 words instead of talking to him in sentences (as they say to do with normal toddlers when they are learning). Putting more focus on my mouth when i say them and saying them slowly. Making life harder for him has been a big help. Example: his matchbox cars are in a clear lock storage box and he has to "ask" to get them. His bike is on a wall hook. I didnt start with food or drink ( except soda or candy) since i couldnt accept sign for it anymore so i didnt want it to be things he HAD to have. Anything that you will eventually HAVE to do doesnt work well and i accept basically any sound that seems like hes trying and not just uh uh uh (can work on more specific sounds with each help lol) My major breakthrough with him was because of bribery though :/ his first two words (mama and dada) were sparked by having two bruder vehicles in sight but out of reach, explaining he had to say mama to get it, then spending a week just repeating mama over and over with focus on my mouth. After those two words its gotten easier to get him to TRY to make different sounds when asking him to say a word, and he will make animal noises now too. Its only been a month since i started focusing on speech with everything so i hope thats good progress. Good luck and i hope for both of us this gets easier soon because its exhausting...
My 1.5y daughter has no talking or pointing and little eye contact. She used to say dad sometimes; now no more. She likes to watch Little Baby Bum , interacting with animals in the video, especially little ducks. Superb motor skills and can clime up and down high chairs and beds. Good sleep and eating. Donot know how to sip , still in milk bottle. Maybe need early intervention; right ?
Hi. My son is 18 months old and exactly same issue. No talking or babbling, hardly any eye contact. I was wondering if you saw any improvement with your child. Thanks in advance
Hi! Looking for updates on your babies. My son is 18 months and babbles all day, shows excitement and when he’s upset, listens to commands, shakes his head no, climbs reaches and grabs, even stands on his top toes if he’s not tall enough to reach objects, no issues with loud noise, he actually enjoys it.
I’m so sad idk what to do 😢 ... I feel like my son is Autistic ... his dad don’t want to believe it . The doctor is saying wait until he is 18 months he is 15 months now he is only saying 1 word he does not respond to his name he does not point or he does not look when we point to stuff .... no matter how hard we try to get him to do stuff he won’t do it
Same here my daughter is 23 months not saying any word she used to say mama when she was 12 months now she’s 23 months old she turn when I call her name she stop doing stuff I tell her to stop she understand the word no 🙏🏽🙏🏽I am stressing out sometimes I cry what you going through all I say is pray God 🙏🏽🙏🏽
My granddaughter is 1year11months, does not respond to her name or any other form of name calling. She does not respond to any instruction eg. Pick up ball, throw ball...nothing. She flaps, hums, rolls her eyes, turn in circles and since yesterday been squinting her eyes shut. She does babble though and tends to play on her own, also have a obsession with pillows, since before she turned one. She loves music.
My online courses can help you with the concerns you've addressed here, and she's the perfect age to start early intervention! For more info, join me for a free online workshop at www.marybarbera.com/workshops.
Thank you for this video. My daughter just turned two. She can sing multiple songs and even quote movies. But when it comes down to communicating she isn’t good verbally. My husband and I are both mommy and she will say simple things like up please, hi, bye, bobo (our dog), Oo yummy, and some other things but isn’t good telling us what she wants. She will grab me by the hand take me to the toy or area she wants to play with and point at the object she wants me to play with her with but doesn’t verbally say what she wants. I called my pediatrician today and they are going to send a request to jhach to get evaluated. Like you said they most likely won’t be able to see her till may. Hopefully by then she will say a lot more. Crossing my fingers she is a late talker. I think she is developing in other areas more than speech.
I hope someone will help me what to do here 😭 My son is 20 months old and sometimes he is doing tipping toe,sometimes he dont response to his name and not listening,he bubbling most of the time like we don’t understand his words, he shakes his head when irritable,and spinning when on the ground, also loves to turn on and off the fan
@@shkelzenhoxhaj1273 he is doing great! boys really talk late. I guess every child is different, just wait for their time.. its really hard nowadays because of the pandemic, no socialization so let us not judge every kid that we see who are behind.
@@tiedan he is doing great! boys really talk late 2-3yo. I guess every child is different, just wait for their time.. its really hard nowadays because of the pandemic, no socialization so let us not judge every kid that we see who are behind. it's perfectly fine.
Hai..my girl child is about to turn 3 years in next months.not started speaking..speaks 3 words only..what she interested is sitting at one place and make a big paper into small pieces.. when I call her by name she responds rarely..she has no hearing problems..and she can't understand what we speak,ie can't obey my instructions
My son is autistic I knew at 18 months he was autistic He wouldn’t respond to his name Only said dada. .And other noises! Never used gestures ! Good video
Im a first mom of my 14month old son. He does not clap, can’t do high five, does not point, does not speak anything yet. I started letting him watch music videos and cocomelon when he was 4 months old. I think its the reason why he develops late? I didnt know it would affect him 😔 I focused on his motor skills but i did not thought about his communication skills 😔
The CDC has milestone checklists for each age group to give you some guidance on what your child should (approximately) be able to do: www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/milestones/milestones-15mo.html. If you have any concerns about delays, my first suggestion would be to make an appointment with his pediatrician. Lastly, my online courses can help you increase his language skills and reduce any problem behaviors he might have. Join a free workshop here: www.marybarbera.com/workshops
Hai mam... Hope you are good...my son is a 7 month premie born @1.34 kg.. now he is three years old.. his development is slower only.. he walked@ his 18 th month... He had seizure last February.. now he speaks very little.. saying appa Amma papa thaatha vaa .. when Im saying these words he repeats it.. understand what am speaking.. point out his needs.. and things like flying aeroplane.. etc.. but the problem is sometimes throwing things,biting, not speaking, spitting food when I feed him. HE DOESN'T CALL US.. is main problem.. WHEN WE ASK HIM TO SAY THIS WORD .. THEN ONLY HE SAYS.. MAMA,vaa,etc., . I am afraid it may lead to autism.. .. plz mam reply whether it is a speech delay or autism mam.. plz

My son 3.5 has speech delay, repeats well, follows instructions but when he is enjoying an activity he makes this sound repetitively “ ra ra ra ra ra” is this babbling? could it be autism? he learns new words every day but this ra ra is very concerning. Please help
Hi I have a 20 month old and she's not talking and babble at all... When she was a bit younger like around 11 months she was babbling and said a few words also and she suddenly just just saying anything.... What can I do?
Hi Barbara my 29 month old son started speech therapy a few months ago for speech delay. He has started to imitate some actions, knows some sign language and some words. Gives hugs shows empathy. Does respond to his name but not consistently. He makes eye contact for the most part. However he likes to line up objects, even makeup. Any suggestions? Thank you 🙏
It sounds like he is doing good with his progress. I have online courses that can help you learn how to support him more. Check out a free workshop www.marybarbera.com/workshops
@user-hn5nu2wi4ois that really works?? My son is 3 next month. He has speech delay , lining up toys. Eye contact with family members only, always running on circle , spinning
My little girl is 2 next month and still can’t talk or say any words just mumbles and say dada or mama :/ she’s got her 2 year check up soon so will have to tell them everything she still doesn’t ask for stuff or out like that what she should of been doing months ago
@@beckyndjemma My son is the same. 2 mid May. But hes been more a climber and dare devil since young. He actually spoke words from 4 weeks old.. after the 1st vaccinations (I wanted to decline), I saw his developmental go backwards. So clever and undstands but also stubborn and liked to ignore and not do what hes asked to do. He more shows me when I'm upset and worried as if to say he can do these things but chooses not to. I was once worried he wouldn't crawl till I realised he would only do it when I left the room.lol The new hybrid children are also very telepathic. I think we connected more that way when he was a baby. I even agree English is a very satanic language and wonder why I speak sometimes. I dont blame these beautiful souls.♡
@@stardustprodigy777 Aww bless him my little girl likes to climb too she doesn’t quite understand how dangerous she can be at times haha. My little girl said ‘mama’ at 4 months and ‘duck’ at around 1 but now she just hums and babbles a lot. We are still waiting to hear back from the speech therapy but we are on a big waiting list atm but I’m working closely with my health visitor and other health care professionals just to try and monitor her progress in the upcoming weeks. Yeah my girl is the same when she is interested in something she wont respond to her name just feels like she’s ignoring me haha🤣. Yeah my girl crawled just 2 weeks before she turned 1 and started walking at nearly 17 months, was worried too! As all we want them to do is do their best and not every child is just not at that stage yet. My girl had her 2 year check up the other week and was really behind in her speech and language but I knew that anyway just hope she can get the support she needs soon as I feel bad for her as she gets frustrated easily :(
Hello...just wanted to know if its late talker or autism... My son is turning 2 this feb 11 2022...some day he will turn his head when calling but sometimes not..he loves lining toys, flapping hands while watching, he loves to dance and to sing...everytime I teach him to say mama he cant say it but when it comes to his dad he can say dad, dads, dy or didi... When I told him that im going to put his diaper on he will lay down and raise his hips and let me put his diaper and wear his clothes...and also when bath time...Im going to told him to go to his sister or his dad to go and wash he will respond by standing up and to go to the bathroom... Any idea about his case?
it is hard to say without knowing him but he does have a delay it seems and there are things you can start with regardless of diagnosis.check out a free workshop here www.marybarbera.com/workshops
My grandson knows words. He knows their meaning, but he refused to say any. He won’t acknowledge his name, but when reprimanded for doing something like banging on the glass he will come over can kiss you. So he even knows sorry. He has said cat. He mimics precisely.
This is how my baby is. She understands words and she communicates by acting stuff out but she won’t talk. For example if she’s sleepy she will lay on the floor and make snoring noises but she won’t talk. She sings words in songs and gums but when she talks she speaks gibberish. Please update us with the results if you feel comfortable
Hi mam i have been watching youte video from very long ...my son is 2 year old he say mama .papa.yes and no is he delay in speaking ?i should be worried or wait for little more time ? Please 🙏 reply
Hello, my son is 2.5. His speech is very limited. He is making 2/3 word sentences but it’s still very simple and I’m noticing that children younger than him are on the same level as him if not passing him in the speech department . He follow simple directions but not 2 step directions... he is able to point out familiar things in books and he is able to verbally speak his needs but at the simplest level etc. “Mama, uh nana (banana)” or “Mama uh juice”. When my nephew was his age, he was able to hold a full conversation. I don’t want to worry my self by comparing him to other kids but I don’t want to be in a state of denial. I’m trying to figure out if this is speech delay or a mild case of autism.
Please I am so worried about my son he doesn't respond to his name. He only say dada, he hits his head, he ask for things by bringing the item. He plays perfectly with the kids.
Hello maam I am from India my son is 26 months old.he is autistic but he knows every thing.he follow my instructions.copy for her sister.even speech mama papa every thing.good object Reading.but problem is behavior.and toe waking.

Hi... pls my daughter just turned 3 November 2021, she respond to her name,knows her numbers and alphabets can also recite 2 later words and sing poems also. But doesn’t communicate or repeat signs. She cry’s when she wants something and doesn’t know how to tell you what she wants. She doesn’t know how to play with other kids too. Pls help
My son was diagnosed with Autism Mild to Moderate at 19 months. He is so smart , loving and caring. He is very vocal and babbles galore.... mamababadadagagaooooo says up, down, baba consistently but also says other words like kiss, more, cartoon, chuppie for his pacifier and more. He is now 23 months. If I get hurt he comes to give me his chuppie, hug and kiss me to make sure im okay or better. If he does something like throw food on the floor and I say, no, no, no, he will pucker up a kiss to be forgiven lol It is the cutest thing ever. I used to be terrified and heartbroken but for what....he was and is a happy baby. I am determined to give and teach him to live his best life just like everyone else. When he gets exited he sometimes flaps his hands or spins but I think its adorable. I can go on and on about how wonderful my baby is but I'll stop here. My advice is don't be selfish and put thise babies first by getting the help they need through evelations. Who cares if they put a label to get free professional services for your love bug JUST DO IT!
Sounds like pretty mild autism... he should be just fine. My oldest son is 22 now... and has level 1 autism. He didn't really talk until he was around 3... but then it's like he started all at once lol. He's extremely intelligent and had above average scores on all his state tests when he was in school.
Hi barbara. My son is 3 year old. The only word he's saying are mama, papa. But sometimes he accidentaly said a few words but he's not repeating it. He only said once. When we teaching him abc, colors, shapes, animals and things he easily learned and memorized it. But he's not saying any word he just pointing the things we are saying. Also when we are saying things to him i know that he understand it because hes following what i said but he's not saying any words. And i'm worried if its speech delay or autism? Thankyou
It is great he is understanding. I cannot say if it is autism or not but regardless of diagnosis, my online courses can help you learn how to get his language going. Check out www.marybarbera.com/workshops for a free workshop.
Hi ms barbara my daugther is 3.4months years old she can count ,and know abc but she doesnt have a response and convo...but she can say like plants,pumpkin pls help me.
hi, my daughter is 2.5 yrs, she has about 15 words that she regularly use appropriately, good at playing with others and responds to instructions but still can't construct sentences. Should I be worried ?
it sounds like a small delay but i cannot say for sure without knowing her. google mary barbera shoebox for some ideas on how to get started pairing up more words!
Hi Barbara . Thank you for all your wonderful videos. It has surely helped me greatly. I also would like your thoughts on diet. Does eating low carbs and high proteins help in autism as well ?
My son who is 2 responds to his name, points to things he wants and to show, brings us things to show or to engage in play with him, pretend plays. He never leaves me alone🤣. He tries to play with his brothers and other kids like handing them parts of toys they are playing with. Copies everything people do. I would say he has about 40 words and has said 2 words together. The only thing I am concerned about is he makes hand movements when he's excited quite alot. I can hold his hands and he won't do it. I'm just wondering if I should be worried.
I would focus more about his skills and developmental milestones. The CDC has a nice milestone checklist you can refer to: www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/milestones/milestones-2yr.html
There's also dyspraxia - with any of these diagnosis the first phase of the GAPS protocol is an absolutely amazing tool in helping both verbal, and developmental delays.
@Wesley Hinson it isn't a herb - it is a healing dietary protocol = the first phase is nothing but homemade bone, and meat broth, and the liquid from saurcrout (I've spelt that wrong) - for probiotics. The first phase lasts for one to two weeks.
@SamuelmiracleAlabi yes my son was nonverbal with a long list of life altering neurological conditions - I had been told that he would never speak, after the first week or 2 he started talking and significantly improved in all neurological areas
How do you recommend going about intervening in a coparenting situation. My child is 20 months and has some signs of autism. Due to covid we can’t schedule an evaluation our area. The mother and I are separated and I don’t get to spend much time with him but what I do see I see delays. His mother doesn’t want to belive he’s delayed but he’s 20 months and not talking per the guidelines and his age. He also doesn’t really respond to his name. His mother also has him on a lot of screen time which I think could be a factor. So I suppose I’m asking what strategies can I utilize for intervention from a distance or with limited time to spend with the child? Thank you!
Google mary barbera denial as the most important thing will be to get both of you on the same page. If you are able to be involved in well child visits or work together to schedule early intervention evals( which can be done via telehealth) then that would be best .
My son doesnt response to his name, and doesnt want to talk like he hears nothing, but he can finger point what he wants, take my hand to get somthing he wants, have eye contact, he is good at immitation, is just a late talker?
It is hard to say without knowing him but it sounds like he has some good skills. Whether it is just a delay or autism , you can start helping him today! I have a new book that will tell you step by step how to help www.turnautismaround.com
I have a 2 year old (34 months) boy who is not speaking. He babbles/jargons and has recently learned mama and the word go but that is it. He understands everything even 2-step directions without me having to point. He knows all his colors. No issues with sensory and has perfect eye contact and social skills. He's been in speech since 12 months and we finally have our developmental pediatrician appt coming up. I'm just SO confused as to what is going on with him. He is a triplet if that makes a difference? There just aren't enough posts out there similar to his situation.
It could be a delay or autism but the good news is that regardless of what it is. I have strategies that can help! Check out a free workshop here www.marybarbera.com/workshops
My daughter is going through the same thing she's going to be 3 next year. She's a twin I know they say twins they form there own language. Any word of advice thank you😊
My 16 month old daughter only says momma, dadda, daddy, and nite nite. Most of the time she says them arbitrarily but sometimes when she wants something she will get my attention yelling momma. She will give nose kisses both on ask and randomly. She will give me a ball toy if I ask sometimes, and throw the ball and she loves to stack toys, but does not point yet. She will only will point at pictures in a book, should I be concerned?
One of my nephews is 6 years old and yet he barely talks and only blurted out his favorite color but nothing else. My other 4 yr old nephew talks a bunch sometimes i can't understand it but i can converse with him and he's very engaging on the other hand my 6 yr old nephew feels like he has his own world and when he has bad behaviour his mother doesn't discipline him at all even when he made his brother cry... it's obvious that she favors one child not both...
My boy is a year and 7 months. He says very few words and ignores us often. He also communicates with us by bringing us to places around the house that he needs help with. He talks in his own “language”. He doesn’t have tantrums hardly ever, he’s pretty mild mannered. I always over worry but I’m struggling.
It is hard to say without knowing him but my new book was designed for young kids who are delayed or showing signs of autism. Check it out at turnautismaround.com
My little girl is 4 she talks very little we are going to take her to a specialist this month. I would wait until 3 before taking him, he might be mis diagnosis.
It feels good to have someone in the exact same boat. My daughter is 2 now and babbles with only maybe 3-5 words that she uses regularly and she also chooses to drag us around everywhere & to everything!! Our local Early Headstart Program has diagnosed her with an expressive speech delay thus far. She does however have great receptive skills & seems to comprehend so so so much but has always seemed to ignore us when we say her name around 40-45% of the time. So, I'm right on the fence of about being more concerned. An autism diagnosis wouldn't be considered a negative to us. Honestly, not knowing for certain if it is autism or just a speech delay at this stage is more of a stress inducer than anything.
My son is 26 months old. Doesn't have any behavior issue. Eye contact and respond to name is also there .he jus don't speak and doesn't follow the instructions and imitation too. But untill 18 months he was completely ok. Afterwards he forgets. Wot shd I do
my son just turned 2 yrs old. physically he’s fine. he runs, loves to play, laugh and be chased, he’s very strong, very good going up and down stairs. But he isn’t talking at all or understanding or responds to his name, i can’t get him to hold a spoon or attempt the feed himself.. he barely claps but only if i forcefully start him off by playing patty cake. He’ll babble sometimes but usually sounds like dada or baba but he’s not speaking just making sounds he likes.. but he mostly just hums all day. i fear he may be autistic.
My son is the same way. He’s 17 months & doesn’t wave hi or bye, doesn’t clap, & barely responds to his name. He used to clap when I said yay & he used to say wow, mama, & dada but then he just completely stopped. But he plays & loves chasing. It’s like he’s going backwards
@@fayejohnson3241 my son is regressing also. it feels like intellectually he’s not picking up on anything i try and teach him. i have to make it into a game just to get him to focus.. Is your son learning things you try and teach him. like pointing things out? or repeating your actions?
@@Sejr0420 he’s picking up son some things. He seems to understand what I mean sometimes. Like when I tell him “no don’t do that” recently I’ve taught him to grab ahold of my hand & walk with me so he knows now every time I say “come on let’s go” to grab my hand. I’ve been trying to point to his cup so he can know what it is but he just laughs at me
My son is the same way. He is almost 2 and not talking at all. He occasionally says mama but not in reference to me. He does babble and make sounds but not often. He is just an overall quiet kid. He will grab my hand and take me to things he wants (like the fridge or the door) but doesnt verbally make any connection. He does look at me when we are playing and we have eye contact for short periods of time. He does a lot of babbling with his mouth closed almost like a grunting sound. He also shakes his head a lot and flaps his arms when he is excited. He doesnt seem super interested in other kids either. We are trying to get him into a daycare to see if that helps being surrounded by kids his age that actually do talk.
@@fayejohnson3241 he sounds a lot like my son. We recently just had a doc appointment and his doc think is auditory processing disorder, which is basically dyslexia for the ears. he has a hearing exam scheduled. She said he may need a hearing aid to regulate and process sounds. But she assured me he is not autistic which has been a relief
my son 36 month, he had vocabularies enough for his age in the milestone, but sometimes he don't response when i call his name, or he doesn't want to reply when i teach or ask the subject such as numbers, alphabet and animal names. which is he already can say previously, but not all the time he reply my questions. is he speech delay? or autism?
My toddler is 17months. He doesnt talk but he babbles. Also hes very very stubborn so he ignores me a lot. We think he can actually do/say a lot but he is so stubborn he will purposely not repeat a word back just because we’re asking him to. What do you think?
It is hard to say if he is stubborn or has a skill deficit in that area. I do have online courses that can help you build this language! check out a free workshop www.marybarbera.com/workshops
My 18 month old says some words but doesnt really speak or say words I can make out other than mama, dada, baba (bottle) , etc... she is verbal and makes noise, seems ro understand things and engages in play with her sisters , her dad and i.. She is also not walking yet, but will walk when her dad or I help walk along with her while we hold her hands. Opinions? I am nervous. Her 18 month well child check up is coming up, should I bring it up??
It sounds like a referral to early intervention may be beneficial, especially for the walking! Regardless of what it is, you want to treat delays as soon as possible. I do have a new book with action steps to help with language and other delays . Check it out at turnautismaround.com
I would kindly consider delaying vaccines while you work on some of these milestones and research more about the adverse reactions of the current cdc schedule of vaccines
Omg am happy. My two years can’t tolk it’s only 5 clear words. But. He understands everything and he can bring everything I told him. But the problem he can’t tolken
good news is the same strategies apply for a speech delay or autism so learn more about how to help him with my new book. You can find it here www.turnautismaround.com
Thank you so much for deciding to watch my videos! I have a book, too, if you're looking to dive a little deeper! Check it out at www.turnautismaround.com. There's free resources there, too.
yesterday the doctor did ADOS test to my son for only half an hour and said that he may have autism, he is 25 months old, he has only 3 words, he made this diagnosis because he does not point to distant objects with his finger. My son knows his name, he has eye contact, he has no eating or sleeping problems, sorting toys, sensitivity to light or sound. No. And when I asked him crying if he would be like other people if he got an education, I got the answer that no,He wont. I don't know what to think now.
It sounds like he is delayed. Whether or not the diagnosis is accurate, I cannot say but I do know you can use the same techniques for autism and just a delay so make sure to sign up for a free workshop here www.marybarbera.com/workshops
@@marybarbera We started to ABA therapy for two hours a week and he continues go to daycare. I definitely don't think he has autism because he doesn't have any symptoms of autism other than not talking and pointing fingers. Thanks for your answer, do you think 2 hours of ABA therapy is enough because we don't accept the diagnosis and so we pay for the therapy ourselves.
My angel is 2 and hums. He just got tubes in ears and is starting to say a few words. He does repetitive motions such as running to fence and back to house to touch the wind chime. Over and over again. He lines up rocks. He licks everything and sniffs everything. He takes the clothes out of the drawers and makes little piles of them on the floor. Lines up my spatulas and spoons to make triangles. Takes books off shelves and lays them on floor in triangles. Becomes extremely upset if they get moved. I redirect him. Are these signs? He is 2.
If you’re seeing Autism symptoms in your baby or toddler try cutting out gluten from their diet. Look for wheat and barley in lists ingredients and avoid it. At around the age of 1 my beautiful son started withdrawing from the world. He became obsessed with pacing, lining up cars and spinning their wheels. His eye contact was very poor and he was lost inside his own head. At times it was as if my wife and I didn’t exists to him. I was naturally heartbroken and frightened for his future. I didn’t understand what had happened to him and I didn’t know what to do. I spoke to medical professionals and, although they tried, they weren’t much help. He was assessed and scored very high for Autism. I didn’t sleep for about three days and was constantly reading about ways I could help him. After much research I found a study on gluten and the strange effects it can have on children. I promptly cut gluten from his diet and the change in him was astonishing. I got my happy little boy back within a few days and after a few weeks he was completely free from the symptoms of Autism. I’m not suggesting that this will work for everyone but it genuinely did for us. If it stops one family from going through the hell that we went through I will be delighted. If it works for your little one please get the word out.
These positive comments on this video is more educational and informatives and relieving than most "experts" who just want to hoard some money off me that i don't even have
@@kstayblessed my sons 4 and a half and still doesn't like it. We do it in his sleep.. Not easy. He hated his teeth rushed also but we managed to make that fun last year, no issues since. I'm sure they will grasp the hairdressers when just a little older 💪🏽
My granddaughter didn’t start talking till she turned 4. Before she would always point at things she wanted. Now she speaks perfectly clear.
Respected dear my son is 3.5 year old does not talk a single word . But point towards his needs . Please guide what could I do
My son did the same, he would point and say "uh uh" he is now 7 and speaks fluent English and some Afrikaans and also uses really big words and forms very long sentences.
@livelihood we just stuck with one language and lots of patience. We didn't use therapy but we homeschool and I just do lots of one on one with him and we also started talking more to each other in the home and he just started picking it up. We are a bilingual family so we brought it down to one language so he can manage one first but he is doing well and also understand the other language we speak very well and alot of words.
@livelihood I am so happy I can help. My son was non verbal for many years and didn't form sentences until 5years of age. He speaks very very well now, better than alot of kids his age so don't feel too worried, they get it right eventually 🥰🌈
@@morenaturalwithlizzy1746 thank you so much, I have hope seeing this.
Good video.. I was a late talker and didn’t talk until 4 years old... I almost got diagnosed with autism.. my mother had me in 2 preschools receiving intense education... and I caught up to my grade level in one year..
thanks for sharing.
Thank u my friend... For sharing...
You help me with my son he is 2.
Thank you for sharing my 2year not talking only saying yeaaaaaaa all the time
Amazing
Hello My Daughter IS 3 Years Now and Still not start talking am very very upset 🥺🥺🥺🥺
My son is 4 and he doesn’t have a conversation but he can says all his needs, he make eyes 👀 contact, he likes to play with others kids, the only problem is that he can’t have a conversation. and they just did the evaluation to see if he was autistic and he is not autistic !!!! Omg I was crying so happy !!
That is good! You can google mary barbera conversation and there may be a video to help.
when did he start saying his wants and needs? my little brother doesn’t do any of that and he’s 2
@@MK-fg6xg oh when he was 2 he didn’t either he started like when he was 3 in a half!
Aww what a relief, I am going through stress, my little one says everything what he wants, understands everything ( conversation not much) , academically great but his nursery just told me he isn't interacting with peers and he showed one major tantrum in school due to dispute over toy, just because of that they want to assess him, I am not sure what to do :'(
My husband just started small words barely understandable at 3. Then talking at a 2 year old left by 4 and by 5 he was fully speaking. We dont know why that is. I think my daughter is on the same path so shes been in speexh therapy since 2 so we can try and get ahead of it
My son's doctor did an assessment and said likely has autism. We are on the wait list for a developmental assessment. The waitlist is 2 yrs currently. Babbling no words , turns 3 in a month. Has a speech assessment in a few weeks. Not a fan of playing with others, responds to his name 50% of the time , excessive arm flapping and tippy toes walking. I will definitely check out more of your videos .
The waiting can be so frustrating. My online courses can help you teach him at home and help him gain skills much sooner. Join me for a free workshop for more info: www.marybarbera.com/workshops.
@Alabiousyou can't heal autism tho-
any updates?
Hope all is well with your family. Has there been any improvements in the past year from your comment?
My daughter is 2 years and 3 months and does all the same things
So we are still waiting for his assessment, it will be another year. He is in JK he loves it so far. We did OWL speech therapy program. He now can say names of objects, and will try to sing/ mimick songs in movies he enjoys. However we can't have a proper conversation yet. He does not hold conversations in class and still does more side play rather than direct play with classmates. We do have another baby now in the house and he is very loving and tries to help with baby. I will update once the full assessment has been done. We have seen occupational therapist as well, just to help with his relationship with clothes as he hates them lol.
The problem is at what point is it really Autism. Since this is a spectrum disorder where is the fine line where something more mild like ADHD becomes autism. I have always had some learning disability and concentration.
yeah it can be really hard to tease out but the point is learning how to support the childs needs regardless of diagnosis.
In India grannies say girl starts speaking at 18 months while some boys after 3-4 yrs..... But later boys are way quicker.
So we just wait till that period, we don't panic.
Note:- But if you see the baby is clueless not responding properly than you need to consult pediatrician.
Lol I started talking at age 2 and enrolled in school around at age 2.5 year . I was so bigger at age 2 everybody thinks I will grow upto 6 feet but I am only 168cm at age 16 😭
@@dontwastetimeyouarelosingr8172 Depends on person to person. If we hv a healthy body we are blessed.
Same as in Ghana
Great video. My child just turned 5 he has speech delay he is talking but not as much as he should be for his age. He has no problem with lights, noise, sleep, change of routine etc. He loves playing with kids and is fine with new people but just cant make much conversation because of the delayed speech. He sometimes flaps when excited but very less. He got seen by the pediactric as the school wanted him to get checked and the pediactric thinks he has autism. Me and my husband are little confused with this as we never seen him have any problems apart with his speech if we thought our child had more problems we would have gone to the doctors ourselves. The pediactric has diagnosed him with autism and we strongly believe he hasnt got it he just needs help with the speech. I wonder if anyone else has exprienced this
At the end of the day, the autism diagnosis will hopefully get him more services. He is still the same child.
This is the same with my daughter ... pls let me know what interventions you did?
i am going through exact same situation with my child n jus like u i also strongly blv its not autism but mere speech delay Inshallah
@@adilmushtaq3998 I have 23 months old baby she used to say mama when she was 12 months now she’s 23 months old not saying nun at all I think it’s a late talker cause most of kids in my family are late talker when I call her name she turn around when I tell no she understand but not answering me she have a doctor appointment coming up I’m praying God 🙏🏽🙏🏽 for everything to be ok
The same thing that our child is! He born 2017(5 yrs Old). and he talks less, not even less but its a few words not more than 15 words; and he is still trying to say some thing new.
But the broplem he has intoe, and he walks like computer. We visited some doctors, they say he will be ok, and some of them say its an uatism. But who knows the secret behind it except Allah.
My 19 month old is not talking. Quite worrying as my other 4 children were speaking by now. I know children are all different but as a parent I can't help but feel concerned. She says mom and dad.
She gives eye contact, hugs, plays with others, she displays intelligence and understanding. Understands words. Just the not talking is the only concern!
Thanks for sharing! I would suggest joining a course to help: MaryBarbera.com/courses
Hi any progress pls share
They told my wife's cousin there son was autistic. He has never spoken. This week he had he tonsils and adenoids removed and he hasn't stopped talking. The joy and the excitement to here him say mommy and daddy
Wow! Thank you for sharing a bit of your story here.
Please if you ever read my comment please reply....your wife cousin now is completely normal...does he ever had problem with responding
@@gulishtanaaz1076 no he doesn't, he is just like any other kid
I want to know does adenoid affects hearing...before his adenoid removal..he responded to sounds
@@trulyblessed8767 They are quick to diagnose autism based on “milestones.” Some children develop at a different pace or there are other factors that hinder their abilities- like your nephew. 🤷🏻♀️
My son is 2years exactly...he doesn't talk ...but he can recite ABC to Z correctly without mistake. And he can also count number 1 to 20 without a mistake. He calls out the names of people in the house and say nothing more. When he is hungry, he goes and get his food where it's kept and when he wants to drink water, he brings an empty cup... when you call him, he doesn't answer but will turn to you. he understands well.
What is the diagnosis by the doctor?
Same girl my son can sing abc count 1-20 he says his animals and the sounds he can say bye bye hello and I think few other but I still have been told he’s delayed and autistic we are going for another time to see if he is or not :/ idc if he is but ide like to no
My child was the same as yours when he was two but didn’t call names, he is now 4 and calling names making very basic sentences but still hasn’t made enough of progress.
Hyperlexia?
My 2 year old does all that, he doesn’t flap or tippy toe walk . He knows how to recite the ABC , numbers and songs. He’s very energetic and love to jump on the sofa. Outside he plate normally at the park and with my other son everytime he saw him he’d get his toys and play with him or run around the house with him
Autism isn't a forever thing . As far as it's symtoms . My little brother was severely autistic as a baby no eye contact didn't want hugs etc. He acted like a dog . He liked to be pet when he was happy ate food from a bowl on the floor growled at strangers. Come age 9 little by little behaved that way less and less. He started homeschooling. That helped alot. He now speaks perfectly works online and manages his money better than anyone else in the family. I really think if you can homeschool them makes a big difference bc they don't teach them much In public school and it probably causes stress bc many are very organized and are used to a schedule.
intermediate programming is really hard! I do have a course on how to help intermediate learners like him. go to www.marybarbera.com/workshops for a free workshop and to get started.
My two year old does this. He’s a late talker, doesn’t have autism. He says about 50-100 words like shoes, outside, he knows the dogs names etc etc. He acts just like a dog though, all day literally. He has a brother only two years older so idk what’s up with the dog thing lol. Pretty sure it’s a phase like you said your brother is going through.
went from cute puppy to finance expert 😂
Hi 😊. What age did he speak? Do you remember?
You dont get rid of autism. Perhaps your brother did not have austistic but a delay. You dont just grow out of autism.
Wish I could get help I’m extremely stressed and sad
Check out turnautismaround.com for my new book.
Hows your baby doing now?
My son is 19m old, and he doesn’t know any words at all, doesn’t know signs or gestures, he just gibber gabbers. His doctor referred us to a developmental specialist, and I’m not sure if it’s going to help or not. We go in August. Hope it works, fingers crossed!
Any update? I’m genuinely curious
My son is 18months and he only says no when we take something away or when we bring him inside before he wants to other then that he just speaks gibberish alot
My 19 month isn’t talking either. I’m taking him to be assessed Monday
Any updates? I'm curious too
Update? Same boat except he can point
My brother is 5 years old and he can’t even say a sentence but one or two words, he points at what he wants luckily he does respond to his name by yes. Overall he been repeating the same stuff with not much progress. He did get a speech therapist but nothing really changed. We make sure he’s around other kids and he’s in school has classes for speech problems. It’s to the point where a 2 year old surpass him.
my techniques can help! check out my new book www.turnautismaround.com so your family can learn how to help him at home.
How is his speech now?
@@BlessedDaph he’s 7 turning 8 this year on December.. he’s still behind but he can say a few words at a time and limited sentences.. verbally he’s at the level of a 3-4 year old.. but he is talented at other things that I couldn’t solve and right now I’m 18 years old attending Howard University
@@samanthajustin243thrapies are arranged for your brother
My child is three years and one month he hasn’t spoken he says mama and baba but he doesn’t really use it to call me, he just says it, but it’s really confusing because I don’t know if he has autism or not, there are these few times where it feels like he called me using it, but not always, also he doesn’t sit still when I want to hug him it’s like he wants me to be around so if I go to another room, he would follow me, but he would still stay somewhere where we have space in between, sometimes he does eye contact normally and sometimes he just refuses to look at you because He wants to play. Sometimes he laughs for no reason and jumps and runs. Sometimes he doesn’t express his pain so his brother could be literally beating him, and I wouldn’t hear him even scream. And sometimes he would scream at him and beat him to get away. And expresses pain normally saying booboo and coming to me to show me where it hurts. I noticed that when I get angry at his brother for beating him, he laughs. Seems like he likes it when his brother cries.
I’m so confused in what should I do He hasn’t spoken or said any other word than mama and baba and “give me” in my language which is”iddi”
Also sometimes he would cuddle with me and kiss me in a weird way. It’s not really kissing it’s like he’s trying to bite me, but with his lips instead of teeth, but I think that’s because I used to bite him like that because his cheeks are so cute and I want to bite him without hurting him, he only comes to me if he wants some thing for me he would drag me to the place and wait for me to give him the thing he doesn’t even point at things, I feel like I don’t understand him in a way where it really hurts me and makes me cry, I wish I could do something for him I took him to two doctors. One told me he might have autism. The other one told me he’s just fine and I need to wait and teach him words like it was just a speech delay.
I’m so worried about him I was too terrified to admit it and label him with autism, but now I’m ready to just do anything to help him. It really breaks my heart since no one in my family was ever like this and they all already spoke under two years old..
My daughter didn't start talking until age 3 and I was a late talker too.
My brother has autism and he's 7yrs old yet he doesn't speak , he's smart and understands us a little bit and if he want something he points it. But he doesn't speak, it's he's doesn't like to speak he lip sync the word but the sound of the word doesn't comes out
Thanks for sharing!
Iv just found your channel I’m feeling really lost I don’t know much about autism but with all the research and online tests I have done I think my 19 month old has autism but I’m fed up of people around me friends etc telling me they will develop in their own time which I know is true but my son was seeming to be developing okay but at around 15 month he has stopped pointing, no follow pointing, not playing or interested in toys , not listening to name , no speech at all, he understands some words but doesn’t follow simple instructions, no concept of danger, not interested in playing with children that much, loves lights and looks at them close up pulls to his face, doesn’t show me anything , doesn’t imitate. I’m starting to get upset that my health visitor or doctors keep telling me they can’t see me because of COVID-19. I’m in the uk and feel so helpless and upset with this realisation that he more than likely has it but I feel guilty for feeling upset about it x
I'm sorry, I have heard about it being challenging to be taken seriously in the UK but you are right to start fighting . Sometimes doing the MCHAT at mchat.org can help show there are red flags. I also have online courses that can help regardless of diagnosis. www.marybarbera.com/workshops for a free workshop
Hi just seen your comment and your situation and concerns for you little one sounds so similar to my little one and difficult situation we are in. My son is 20 months, I suspect autism and we are in the UK I'd love to connect privaftly and help support each other if you would like? Xx
Wow, so sorry to hear that about your baby. It really sounds like he was vaccine injured if he was developing well and all of a sudden stopped it probably was that. You should look into holistic medicine. I know a lot of people that experienced what you experienced and the holistic medicine helped them incredibly, not only that but also a different diet. Vaccines are not bad, it is how they are all mixed and how many they put at the same time. Look up for the truth about vaccines, it will help you, I promise. Best wishes to you and your little one. If you need more info I can share it with you.
I wouldn’t jump to ASD the same happened to me. It turned out that I had an ear infection. I got tubes and didn’t talk until age 3!
@@karensantana-pagan1401 I’ve been hearing a lot of talk in reference to vaccinations triggering autism
My son is 2.5 years old, he will be 3 in May. He does lots of labeling talk, knows animal noises, can count to 5, knows his colors and loves to sing songs. He understands simple one and two step directions.
He isn’t using his words to communicate what he wants though. (He is already in speech therapy) He does good with imitating, he loves imitating his 4 year old sister with what she does and says. He also responds to his name. Unless he is really occupied he won’t. He also makes quick eye contact but won’t stay looking at me as I talk to him.
His speech therapist although she was not supposed to share this shared with me as a friend that she doesn’t think he is autistic. But I still worry. 😅
an slp is not qualified to screen for autism so they would not be able to say yes it is autism or no it isn't so you may want to see a full evaluation.
@@marybarbera Yes, I mentioned how she wasn’t supposed to share this with me and it was only her personal opinion.
He does get evaluated in May.
@@trulylovelybear hey how did your son get on? Do you have an update? I have a 27 month old with only a few consistent words.
@@checkmatedeposit905 hi, my son is now 3 years old and still knows all of his words. He still repeats back what we ask him if he doesn’t understand the question like “How old are you?” He will repeat the question back to us. If I ask him yes or no questions he will respond back after a few times of asking him. “Are you hungry?” He will rub his tummy and say “hungry” and so I ask him again “Are you hungry?” and then he says “yes.” if he is thirsty for water he will put his water cup in my hand but not really tell me anything. Sometimes he will say “water” when he puts it in my hand. His eye contact is still not that good. He responds to his name but as far as looking at us while we are talking it’s not there. He was evaluated through zoom and it was a mess. He’s going to be re-evaluated as soon as they open it up for in person.
@@trulylovelybear sounds like he is still making good progress :) thank you for your reply. We are awaiting to be reviewed/evaluated, waiting times are so slow at the moment. We have had zoom SLT and they were a disaster, far better in person. My son is 27 months and only has a few words but his understanding is great. He has shown signs of regression of saying words once and then never really again. Eye contact has not been the best in prior months but he has made good progress through games like peekaboo. You read so much on the internet I think it puts you into a spiral of worry. Trying to remain positive and surround myself with families who have went through the process. Thanks again.
I came into this video in tears cause my 18 month old is hardly saying da when I ask him too. I feel a lot better now. Still worried and frustrated but feel better equipped.
Since this comment got a little attention I figure I'd give a 4 months later update. Luke is 21 months old. Since my last comment he has made a lot of strides in many ways even if he's not talking like I want him to. I was wanting to see progress and I've seen it so I feel much better these days.
His eye contact is normal now. He says dada and mama (which took a while) when asked and sometimes when not. He's making lots of different noises and his motor skills are way up. Now that the weather is nice he is a very happy baby and we are outside in the forest all the time. I'm stupid lucky.
Thanks so much for watching.
My son 20 months and only babbles and says about 3 words. He rarely listens to me when I call his name.
google mary barbera name response for a video on the topic
I know an over 2 year old boy who didn't talk until he met a classmate who was very chatty at his daycare. Maybe you could try to create a similar environment for your babies. Let them spend time to other talkative toddlers.
In my case, my 15 months boy doesn't say basic words such as mama, dada, hi, bye no matter how much i tried to get him to. However he says "stairs" because he likes to climb stairs, or "flower", "key" since he likes those objects, or "fish" because he likes goldfish crackers, or "up" because he likes to be picked up or brought up on a table. My point is that pay close attention to what your babies are interested to and encourage them to speak those words. Of course we need to introduce those words to them. Hope this helps.
Don't be so worried it's hard kid's do stuff at their own pace. My 18 month old said more words when she was 1 than now. Her doctor said she feels like she is being stubborn cause I want her to talk. But I'm going to start speech with her.
My son is 4 years 4 months and doesn't speak in sentences. It doesn't appear he has an intellectual development problem. He learns quite well. So, I'm curious about his speech.
We are a multi language home. My wife typically speaks Tagalog or Ilicano. He understands all three languages, but still only replies in one or two words.

Hi Mary,
I have a question related to autism and speech of toddler age children, do you think that healthy gut and proper diet has a big impact on children with autism? Since these kiddos can be very sensitive to food and texture of some foods, they like to consume very unhealthy rather foods and snacks.
Thanks!
Do not give any food that contains sugar
Please keep the sugar to a minimum and no gluten and watch those immunizations

My son is 16 months and he will babble words like mama or papa, but when I say things to him for him to repeat he just looks as if he is uninterested. When it comes to playing he’s smart with figuring things out on his own. Most times I don’t have to help him. He also responds well to “No” and “Stop” but won’t respond to his name sometimes. He’ll walk around make a humming sound at random times but it has became not as frequently. I know others have said it might be because he isn’t around other kids his age and he will start when he wants.

How are both of your kids now?
Hi Ma’am,
My son is 20 months old . He says more than 10 words n some short sentences , labels many pictures, some numbers and knows how to match color puzzles and numbers . He is also very playful and attentive. But past few days I feel like he is avoiding eye contact sometimes even though he is involved in playing with me . Sometimes he even ignores while I call his name during playing . He used to come to me running and smiling whenever I called him . I am very stressed and anxious until the level I can’t sleep. Is this a typical behavior in his age ?
It is hard to say without knowing him but it sounds like he is on track speech wise. check out the cdc milestones.
My son ignores us too and he babbles, but doesn't say anything other than mama and Dada for the most part. He has said a few other words like mine.
My son used to blable when he was 1 years old but when my daughter was born, he stopped blabbing. Now that he is 3 years old, he can show all types of animals, but still hasnt talked. He knows numbers, animals, weathers, shapes, colors and year calendar by pointing. How do you label this?
it sounds like a regression and delay. I do have strategies that can help. Check out a free workshop here www.marybarbera.com/workshops

Thank you for sharing your struggle. Although I couldn't tell for sure if your son has autism or not since I have not seen him in person. I suggest you observe him or have him checked by a professional.
I have a 17 month old daughter. She does understand me. When I give her shapes and colors to identify (which one is the purple triangle?) she is able to pick up the correct one. She does make and maintain eye contact. She enjoys her toy piano and books, able to turn pages one at a time without ripping them. Plays the xylophone with good hand control.
She's not interested in a lot of different toys like other children, tends to fixate on a select few. Usually shows no interest in other babies and children. She will occasionally look at another baby, reach for their face, or try to pull off one of their socks. She does not make very many sounds, does say "baba" for bottle. That's about it. She claps hands. Does not point or wave. She doesn't share or hold out a toy to show me.
Should I get her evaluated?
I love that you're paying attention while she's still so little! I would check out the CDC developmental milestones checklist for your little girl's age group and if you still have concerns, make a pediatrician appt. If you're looking to boost her language, my toddler course would be perfect for you! My courses and other resources can be accessed here: MaryBarbera.com/links-yt
Why is it that none of these videos ever addressed children who are growing up in bilingual homes? I'm American living in Brazil, everyone but me speaks Portuguese with my son and I speak only English to him. He'll be 17 months old in a few days and he still isn't saying any words. He understands many many things but seven out of 10 times he doesn't respond to his name. I don't know if that's because some people in the family pronounce his name differently than I do or if he just doesn't recognize his own name. Anyways I really really wish that somebody would address speech delays in children who grow up in bilingual homes.
But I don’t see what his name has to do with him being brought up bilingual. They’re two different things
you can google mary barbera billingual for videos on the topic.
@@limejuice7467 my son's name begins with the letter "R" and ends with the letter "t". In Portuguese the letter "R" makes the sound of letter "H" in English and in Brazilian Portuguese the letter "t" is pronounced as "ch". So while I am pronouncing his name as we do in English, "Robert" , everyone else in the home says, "Hoberch"
So possibly he might not recognize his name when I say it because it's so different from the way everybody else says it. Robert / Hoberch.
Understand now?
@scent, i am in the same boat with you. Bilingual home. My kid started talking clearly at 5 and my 3 year old is not talking but has hit all the other milestones specteculary
What about a little one who is 8 months old and just makes scream like sounds and does not babble with vowels?
8 months is quite young, it depends if it is paired with other red flags. You can contact your local early intervention for a free assessment. Also check out the cdc early steps milestones.
Hello, my just turned 3. He doesn’t talk much. He can only say up, 2, please, apple and he can almost say cheese fully and ya instead of yes. He can count to 5 with his fingers but only says 2&5 verbally. He understands most commands and responds to his name. Aside from not being where he should be verbally he has a hard time sharing toys, making eye contact, and he makes other babble noises and yells a lot when
He plays or gets really excited. I don’t know if it’s speech delay or autism and I don’t know what direction to head in. I feel lost as a mom
it is hard to know without knowing him but usually at that age a full developmental evaluation is best. Regardless of diagnosis , I have courses that can help build language. check out a free workshop www.marybarbera.com/workshops
how much screen time has he had and from what age did he start screen time?
My daughter is 18 month. The doctor said she is delay in her speech. But we are multilingual family, speaking 4 language. She understand and respond to us when we speak. But she haven't really talk....should I be concerned? Also my little brother and little cousin start speaking English more once they go to preschool. At home our parent speak our language.
If she is delayed in speech then it is good to start intervention. Regardless of what it is caused by, you want to get started catching her up. My book is helpful for young toddlers with delay. Learn more here www.turnautismaround.com
I love your videos!!! Thanks for the tip!
Thank you so much for watching! I'm happy to hear that my videos have been helpful to you.
my son his 2 years old before he clocked 2, he has been saying few words like mum dad, reciting cartoon song and responding to greet, suddenly he stopped talking.

Yup. That story is common, I wonder why! 🤔
I’m a little worried about my son. He just turned 2. He doesn’t say much. Single, three letter words he can barely manage. Babbles a lot. Was a head hitter when he was younger but I don’t see much of that anymore. His receptive language is ridiculous. Completely comprehensive. He will do anything you ask him to do. Knows all of his body parts by name. Knows colors and shapes. Knows names. Knows food. He knows like EVERYTHING. He can sign a few desires by sign language (more, all done, pointing). He just doesn’t talk. Like. At all.
His mechanic skills are nuts.
His temperament is amazing. Very patient.
Very happy. Very skillful.
But he has no desire to speak.
This perfectly describes my son who turns 2 this month. Ahead in receptive language but won't really say anything except "uh oh". I'm not sure what's wrong. He's started speech therapy but I haven't seen any progress yet.
Well just because he does not speak don't mean anything man. My brother throws fits, throws objects, babbles a lot and is pointless to try and calm down. Be great full first what you have man.
I have techniques that can help build his language. Check out a free workshop here www.marybarbera.com/workshops . It is good he is not head hitting anymore!
Any updates?
QUESTION - Over the last 20-30 years have their been a change in the age kids develop.. or has their been an overwhelming amount of inconsistency of the average age kids start developing ???
They are able to diagnose much earlier so i'm sure the data would show it developing much earlier.
@@marybarbera thank you for the fast response, your videos are very helpful and so much appreciated
I have a non verbal autistic 11 year old daughter and now my 17 month old has 0 words & lots of signs, I'm freaking out I won't lie 😭
I understand that must be scary. My new book can be found at www.marybarbera.com/newbook and will help you with a step by step guide for your children.
My brother points at things like birds and he points at things he wants, he makes eye contact but it’s brief, he knows his name but he doesn’t always look at us or acknowledge us when we call him, he also grabs our hand and takes us to things he wants, he does get shy with strangers, he doesn’t talk only says gibberish talk and he picky with food spits out anything he doesn’t like.
My son (18 months) does exactly the same thing, can you tell me what did you found out
Please tell us
My son is 13 months and this is exactly what he does I keep telling my husband I don't think it's normal but he gets upset and say he'll talk and do things in his own time. I want to see a Dr to know if it's a problem now when he's still small.
This is exactly how my 2 years 10months daughter is.
Please tell us
My daughter is 19 months old and she does not talk yet and she doesn’t listen when we call her name I’m a bit worried she’s watching tv most of the time maybe it has something to do with it.
It can be hard to know! I do have a new book with a lot of strategies that can help. Check it out at turnautismaround.com
@@marybarbera thank you
I'm no expert but yes it could be too much tv. As my just turned 2 year old watched plenty of tv. He also didn't respond to his name much or speak much, only maybe 5 words he would say randomly. I got advised to limit his tv watching and within 3 weeks his focus noticeably became more of whats being done and said around him and he started babbling so much more, trying to talk more. Now 2 months later he is babbling away , most of it is unrecognisible but he is trying hard to copy us. I have limited his tv, turn it off most of the day now. I think tv does distract a d delay some children in speech. Try to limit screen time and see, give it atleast a couple of weeks to see if any difference. Good luck
@@lt9074 thank u so much I will do it hopefully it will help..
@@noone6618 have you noticed a difference at all?
My son is 17months and autistic and we are just starting our journey he was just referred to a speech pathologist and im terrified he may never talk
I know it's easier said than done, but just take things day by day and have every expectation that he will talk! You caught the signs very early and that is going to be a complete game changer for you
I cant find the quiz it just keeps bringing me back to the webinar
The quiz is no longer active but the free workshop is what you want to watch!
What is ABA ? When is it too early in your opinion? My son is 14 months, we are babbling, trying to step, I don’t think he doesn’t understand most things we say to him, he only used his index and middle fingers on both hands. He’s in PT & OT once a week ( I don’t feel like that’s enough 😢) and I am working with him at home but he doesn’t mimic, hes always overly excited when I clap, he’s not trying to clap on his own either. Also not doing and gestures, HOWEVER we just started to get him to hold and bring the spoon to his mouth so now we are working on him actully getting it out of the bowl. Thanks in advance
ABA therapy is basically a science for changing socially significant behavior, we use positive reinforcement to increase behaviors we want to see like talking!

Did they not assess your son when he went into speech therapy? Just from my own experience i can relate to you. My son was the same, no words, no animal sounds, just some "uh" sounds and was very good at communicating in other ways. Understands almost everything and can follow directions (age appropriate understanding ofc). My gut feeling is hes LAZY and ive found examples of it with him in other things too. He knows he doesnt have to try something new because mommy will do it for him. I understand him so why bother trying a new scary thing? Mom will push my bike so i dont have to learn to peddle etc. What i can tell you that helped me was watching these types of videos on yt (even if its not autism most games work with any child). I found a few games or methods that seemed to get my sons attention more than others. Focusing on single/2 words instead of talking to him in sentences (as they say to do with normal toddlers when they are learning). Putting more focus on my mouth when i say them and saying them slowly. Making life harder for him has been a big help. Example: his matchbox cars are in a clear lock storage box and he has to "ask" to get them. His bike is on a wall hook. I didnt start with food or drink ( except soda or candy) since i couldnt accept sign for it anymore so i didnt want it to be things he HAD to have. Anything that you will eventually HAVE to do doesnt work well and i accept basically any sound that seems like hes trying and not just uh uh uh (can work on more specific sounds with each help lol) My major breakthrough with him was because of bribery though :/ his first two words (mama and dada) were sparked by having two bruder vehicles in sight but out of reach, explaining he had to say mama to get it, then spending a week just repeating mama over and over with focus on my mouth. After those two words its gotten easier to get him to TRY to make different sounds when asking him to say a word, and he will make animal noises now too. Its only been a month since i started focusing on speech with everything so i hope thats good progress. Good luck and i hope for both of us this gets easier soon because its exhausting...
please update us on your son. did he get diagnosed? if so it’s not too late to intervene
My 1.5y daughter has no talking or pointing and little eye contact. She used to say dad sometimes; now no more. She likes to watch Little Baby Bum , interacting with animals in the video, especially little ducks. Superb motor skills and can clime up and down high chairs and beds. Good sleep and eating. Donot know how to sip , still in milk bottle. Maybe need early intervention; right ?
Yes, contacting early intervention is never a bad first step!
Hi. My son is 18 months old and exactly same issue. No talking or babbling, hardly any eye contact. I was wondering if you saw any improvement with your child. Thanks in advance
Hi! Looking for updates on your babies. My son is 18 months and babbles all day, shows excitement and when he’s upset, listens to commands, shakes his head no, climbs reaches and grabs, even stands on his top toes if he’s not tall enough to reach objects, no issues with loud noise, he actually enjoys it.

My granddaughter is 1year11months, does not respond to her name or any other form of name calling. She does not respond to any instruction eg. Pick up ball, throw ball...nothing. She flaps, hums, rolls her eyes, turn in circles and since yesterday been squinting her eyes shut. She does babble though and tends to play on her own, also have a obsession with pillows, since before she turned one. She loves music.

Thank you for this video. My daughter just turned two. She can sing multiple songs and even quote movies. But when it comes down to communicating she isn’t good verbally. My husband and I are both mommy and she will say simple things like up please, hi, bye, bobo (our dog), Oo yummy, and some other things but isn’t good telling us what she wants. She will grab me by the hand take me to the toy or area she wants to play with and point at the object she wants me to play with her with but doesn’t verbally say what she wants. I called my pediatrician today and they are going to send a request to jhach to get evaluated. Like you said they most likely won’t be able to see her till may. Hopefully by then she will say a lot more. Crossing my fingers she is a late talker. I think she is developing in other areas more than speech.

I knew at 18 months he was autistic
He wouldn’t respond to his name
Only said dada. .And other noises! Never used gestures ! Good video
Thanks for sharing!
Oh God. That seems like I'm doomed.
Im a first mom of my 14month old son. He does not clap, can’t do high five, does not point, does not speak anything yet. I started letting him watch music videos and cocomelon when he was 4 months old. I think its the reason why he develops late? I didnt know it would affect him 😔 I focused on his motor skills but i did not thought about his communication skills 😔

@@beckyndjemma My son is the same. 2 mid May. But hes been more a climber and dare devil since young. He actually spoke words from 4 weeks old.. after the 1st vaccinations (I wanted to decline), I saw his developmental go backwards. So clever and undstands but also stubborn and liked to ignore and not do what hes asked to do. He more shows me when I'm upset and worried as if to say he can do these things but chooses not to. I was once worried he wouldn't crawl till I realised he would only do it when I left the room.lol The new hybrid children are also very telepathic. I think we connected more that way when he was a baby. I even agree English is a very satanic language and wonder why I speak sometimes. I dont blame these beautiful souls.♡
@@stardustprodigy777 Aww bless him my little girl likes to climb too she doesn’t quite understand how dangerous she can be at times haha. My little girl said ‘mama’ at 4 months and ‘duck’ at around 1 but now she just hums and babbles a lot. We are still waiting to hear back from the speech therapy but we are on a big waiting list atm but I’m working closely with my health visitor and other health care professionals just to try and monitor her progress in the upcoming weeks. Yeah my girl is the same when she is interested in something she wont respond to her name just feels like she’s ignoring me haha🤣. Yeah my girl crawled just 2 weeks before she turned 1 and started walking at nearly 17 months, was worried too! As all we want them to do is do their best and not every child is just not at that stage yet. My girl had her 2 year check up the other week and was really behind in her speech and language but I knew that anyway just hope she can get the support she needs soon as I feel bad for her as she gets frustrated easily :(
Hello...just wanted to know if its late talker or autism...
My son is turning 2 this feb 11 2022...some day he will turn his head when calling but sometimes not..he loves lining toys, flapping hands while watching, he loves to dance and to sing...everytime I teach him to say mama he cant say it but when it comes to his dad he can say dad, dads, dy or didi...
When I told him that im going to put his diaper on he will lay down and raise his hips and let me put his diaper and wear his clothes...and also when bath time...Im going to told him to go to his sister or his dad to go and wash he will respond by standing up and to go to the bathroom...

Hi mam i have been watching youte video from very long ...my son is 2 year old he say mama .papa.yes and no is he delay in speaking ?i should be worried or wait for little more time ? Please 🙏 reply
Hello, my son is 2.5. His speech is very limited. He is making 2/3 word sentences but it’s still very simple and I’m noticing that children younger than him are on the same level as him if not passing him in the speech department . He follow simple directions but not 2 step directions... he is able to point out familiar things in books and he is able to verbally speak his needs but at the simplest level etc. “Mama, uh nana (banana)” or “Mama uh juice”. When my nephew was his age, he was able to hold a full conversation. I don’t want to worry my self by comparing him to other kids but I don’t want to be in a state of denial. I’m trying to figure out if this is speech delay or a mild case of autism.
It would be best to check out cdc guidelines. IT sounds like he has some great skills for a 2 year old.
hello how is your son doing now??? my son is the same age 2.5 and going through the same thing

My son was diagnosed with Autism Mild to Moderate at 19 months. He is so smart , loving and caring. He is very vocal and babbles galore.... mamababadadagagaooooo says up, down, baba consistently but also says other words like kiss, more, cartoon, chuppie for his pacifier and more. He is now 23 months. If I get hurt he comes to give me his chuppie, hug and kiss me to make sure im okay or better. If he does something like throw food on the floor and I say, no, no, no, he will pucker up a kiss to be forgiven lol It is the cutest thing ever. I used to be terrified and heartbroken but for what....he was and is a happy baby. I am determined to give and teach him to live his best life just like everyone else. When he gets exited he sometimes flaps his hands or spins but I think its adorable. I can go on and on about how wonderful my baby is but I'll stop here. My advice is don't be selfish and put thise babies first by getting the help they need through evelations. Who cares if they put a label to get free professional services for your love bug JUST DO IT!
Sounds like pretty mild autism... he should be just fine. My oldest son is 22 now... and has level 1 autism. He didn't really talk until he was around 3... but then it's like he started all at once lol. He's extremely intelligent and had above average scores on all his state tests when he was in school.
I needed this ! Thank you

it sounds like a small delay but i cannot say for sure without knowing her. google mary barbera shoebox for some ideas on how to get started pairing up more words!
Hi Barbara . Thank you for all your wonderful videos. It has surely helped me greatly. I also would like your thoughts on diet. Does eating low carbs and high proteins help in autism as well ?
Thank you for watching ! Diet changes likely depend on the child and many factors. It is best to get a thorough assessment from a doctor.
My son who is 2 responds to his name, points to things he wants and to show, brings us things to show or to engage in play with him, pretend plays. He never leaves me alone🤣. He tries to play with his brothers and other kids like handing them parts of toys they are playing with. Copies everything people do. I would say he has about 40 words and has said 2 words together. The only thing I am concerned about is he makes hand movements when he's excited quite alot. I can hold his hands and he won't do it. I'm just wondering if I should be worried.
I would focus more about his skills and developmental milestones. The CDC has a nice milestone checklist you can refer to: www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/milestones/milestones-2yr.html
There's also dyspraxia - with any of these diagnosis the first phase of the GAPS protocol is an absolutely amazing tool in helping both verbal, and developmental delays.
Thank you for letting us know.
@Wesley Hinson it isn't a herb - it is a healing dietary protocol = the first phase is nothing but homemade bone, and meat broth, and the liquid from saurcrout (I've spelt that wrong) - for probiotics.
The first phase lasts for one to two weeks.

@SamuelmiracleAlabi yes my son was nonverbal with a long list of life altering neurological conditions - I had been told that he would never speak, after the first week or 2 he started talking and significantly improved in all neurological areas
how about 19 month old but cannot stick his tongue out? Tho we dont show it to him often. Can you say we can practice more?
You could see a dentist for this issue.
How do you recommend going about intervening in a coparenting situation. My child is 20 months and has some signs of autism. Due to covid we can’t schedule an evaluation our area. The mother and I are separated and I don’t get to spend much time with him but what I do see I see delays. His mother doesn’t want to belive he’s delayed but he’s 20 months and not talking per the guidelines and his age. He also doesn’t really respond to his name. His mother also has him on a lot of screen time which I think could be a factor. So I suppose I’m asking what strategies can I utilize for intervention from a distance or with limited time to spend with the child? Thank you!
Google mary barbera denial as the most important thing will be to get both of you on the same page. If you are able to be involved in well child visits or work together to schedule early intervention evals( which can be done via telehealth) then that would be best .
Where are u located at? I am in New York and my child was just evaluated. Reach out to Early intervention
My son doesnt response to his name, and doesnt want to talk like he hears nothing, but he can finger point what he wants, take my hand to get somthing he wants, have eye contact, he is good at immitation, is just a late talker?
It is hard to say without knowing him but it sounds like he has some good skills. Whether it is just a delay or autism , you can start helping him today! I have a new book that will tell you step by step how to help www.turnautismaround.com
How's your baby now
I have a 2 year old (34 months) boy who is not speaking. He babbles/jargons and has recently learned mama and the word go but that is it. He understands everything even 2-step directions without me having to point. He knows all his colors. No issues with sensory and has perfect eye contact and social skills. He's been in speech since 12 months and we finally have our developmental pediatrician appt coming up. I'm just SO confused as to what is going on with him. He is a triplet if that makes a difference? There just aren't enough posts out there similar to his situation.
It could be a delay or autism but the good news is that regardless of what it is. I have strategies that can help! Check out a free workshop here www.marybarbera.com/workshops
My daughter is going through the same thing she's going to be 3 next year. She's a twin I know they say twins they form there own language. Any word of advice thank you😊
Is he speaking now
My 16 month old daughter only says momma, dadda, daddy, and nite nite. Most of the time she says them arbitrarily but sometimes when she wants something she will get my attention yelling momma. She will give nose kisses both on ask and randomly. She will give me a ball toy if I ask sometimes, and throw the ball and she loves to stack toys, but does not point yet. She will only will point at pictures in a book, should I be concerned?
it sounds like she is quite young and does have some good things.
I’m a late talker until 3 yrs old but I dont have autism.
One of my nephews is 6 years old and yet he barely talks and only blurted out his favorite color but nothing else. My other 4 yr old nephew talks a bunch sometimes i can't understand it but i can converse with him and he's very engaging on the other hand my 6 yr old nephew feels like he has his own world and when he has bad behaviour his mother doesn't discipline him at all even when he made his brother cry... it's obvious that she favors one child not both...
Perhaps try sending her my free workshop so i can help ! www.marybarbera.com/workshops
My boy is a year and 7 months. He says very few words and ignores us often. He also communicates with us by bringing us to places around the house that he needs help with. He talks in his own “language”. He doesn’t have tantrums hardly ever, he’s pretty mild mannered. I always over worry but I’m struggling.
It is hard to say without knowing him but my new book was designed for young kids who are delayed or showing signs of autism. Check it out at turnautismaround.com
My little girl is 4 she talks very little we are going to take her to a specialist this month. I would wait until 3 before taking him, he might be mis diagnosis.
My son is 15 months and does the same. He doesn't even babble. The most he does is laugh.
My son is 15 months and does the same. He doesn't even babble. The most he does is laugh.
It feels good to have someone in the exact same boat. My daughter is 2 now and babbles with only maybe 3-5 words that she uses regularly and she also chooses to drag us around everywhere & to everything!! Our local Early Headstart Program has diagnosed her with an expressive speech delay thus far. She does however have great receptive skills & seems to comprehend so so so much but has always seemed to ignore us when we say her name around 40-45% of the time. So, I'm right on the fence of about being more concerned. An autism diagnosis wouldn't be considered a negative to us. Honestly, not knowing for certain if it is autism or just a speech delay at this stage is more of a stress inducer than anything.
My son is 26 months old. Doesn't have any behavior issue. Eye contact and respond to name is also there .he jus don't speak and doesn't follow the instructions and imitation too. But untill 18 months he was completely ok. Afterwards he forgets. Wot shd I do
I have a free workshop that will help you get started on helping him! check it out at www.marybarbera.com/workshops
my son just turned 2 yrs old. physically he’s fine. he runs, loves to play, laugh and be chased, he’s very strong, very good going up and down stairs. But he isn’t talking at all or understanding or responds to his name, i can’t get him to hold a spoon or attempt the feed himself.. he barely claps but only if i forcefully start him off by playing patty cake. He’ll babble sometimes but usually sounds like dada or baba but he’s not speaking just making sounds he likes.. but he mostly just hums all day. i fear he may be autistic.
My son is the same way. He’s 17 months & doesn’t wave hi or bye, doesn’t clap, & barely responds to his name. He used to clap when I said yay & he used to say wow, mama, & dada but then he just completely stopped. But he plays & loves chasing. It’s like he’s going backwards
@@fayejohnson3241 my son is regressing also. it feels like intellectually he’s not picking up on anything i try and teach him. i have to make it into a game just to get him to focus.. Is your son learning things you try and teach him. like pointing things out? or repeating your actions?
@@Sejr0420 he’s picking up son some things. He seems to understand what I mean sometimes. Like when I tell him “no don’t do that” recently I’ve taught him to grab ahold of my hand & walk with me so he knows now every time I say “come on let’s go” to grab my hand. I’ve been trying to point to his cup so he can know what it is but he just laughs at me
My son is the same way. He is almost 2 and not talking at all. He occasionally says mama but not in reference to me. He does babble and make sounds but not often. He is just an overall quiet kid. He will grab my hand and take me to things he wants (like the fridge or the door) but doesnt verbally make any connection. He does look at me when we are playing and we have eye contact for short periods of time. He does a lot of babbling with his mouth closed almost like a grunting sound. He also shakes his head a lot and flaps his arms when he is excited. He doesnt seem super interested in other kids either. We are trying to get him into a daycare to see if that helps being surrounded by kids his age that actually do talk.
@@fayejohnson3241 he sounds a lot like my son. We recently just had a doc appointment and his doc think is auditory processing disorder, which is basically dyslexia for the ears. he has a hearing exam scheduled. She said he may need a hearing aid to regulate and process sounds. But she assured me he is not autistic which has been a relief
my son 36 month, he had vocabularies enough for his age in the milestone, but sometimes he don't response when i call his name, or he doesn't want to reply when i teach or ask the subject such as numbers, alphabet and animal names. which is he already can say previously, but not all the time he reply my questions. is he speech delay? or autism?
It is hard to say without knowing him but check out the cdc early steps milestones.
My toddler is 17months. He doesnt talk but he babbles. Also hes very very stubborn so he ignores me a lot. We think he can actually do/say a lot but he is so stubborn he will purposely not repeat a word back just because we’re asking him to. What do you think?
It is hard to say if he is stubborn or has a skill deficit in that area. I do have online courses that can help you build this language! check out a free workshop www.marybarbera.com/workshops
Same thing with my son.he us 19 month he understand everything but when u trying he reoeat with u he didn't..and stubborn too
@Alabiousgo to hell
@Jemilabeautyandspayou also go to hell
My 18 month old says some words but doesnt really speak or say words I can make out other than mama, dada, baba (bottle) , etc... she is verbal and makes noise, seems ro understand things and engages in play with her sisters , her dad and i.. She is also not walking yet, but will walk when her dad or I help walk along with her while we hold her hands. Opinions? I am nervous. Her 18 month well child check up is coming up, should I bring it up??
It sounds like a referral to early intervention may be beneficial, especially for the walking! Regardless of what it is, you want to treat delays as soon as possible. I do have a new book with action steps to help with language and other delays . Check it out at turnautismaround.com
I would kindly consider delaying vaccines while you work on some of these milestones and research more about the adverse reactions of the current cdc schedule of vaccines
I was a late talker and it stressed my parents...today I am a talkative person and a comedian (entertainer) @Mc Abu.
Thank you for sharing!
I do have autism and I was also a late talker. I think it can be both.
Wow! Thank you for telling us!
Omg am happy. My two years can’t tolk it’s only 5 clear words. But. He understands everything and he can bring everything I told him. But the problem he can’t tolken
good news is the same strategies apply for a speech delay or autism so learn more about how to help him with my new book. You can find it here www.turnautismaround.com

yesterday the doctor did ADOS test to my son for only half an hour and said that he may have autism, he is 25 months old, he has only 3 words, he made this diagnosis because he does not point to distant objects with his finger. My son knows his name, he has eye contact, he has no eating or sleeping problems, sorting toys, sensitivity to light or sound. No. And when I asked him crying if he would be like other people if he got an education, I got the answer that no,He wont. I don't know what to think now.
It sounds like he is delayed. Whether or not the diagnosis is accurate, I cannot say but I do know you can use the same techniques for autism and just a delay so make sure to sign up for a free workshop here www.marybarbera.com/workshops
@@marybarbera We started to ABA therapy for two hours a week and he continues go to daycare. I definitely don't think he has autism because he doesn't have any symptoms of autism other than not talking and pointing fingers. Thanks for your answer, do you think 2 hours of ABA therapy is enough because we don't accept the diagnosis and so we pay for the therapy ourselves.
Doesn’t sound like autism to me and the doctor seems careless. New doctor
@@lizethdurbin25 yes, I agree with you and thanks your comment.
My angel is 2 and hums. He just got tubes in ears and is starting to say a few words. He does repetitive motions such as running to fence and back to house to touch the wind chime. Over and over again. He lines up rocks. He licks everything and sniffs everything. He takes the clothes out of the drawers and makes little piles of them on the floor. Lines up my spatulas and spoons to make triangles. Takes books off shelves and lays them on floor in triangles. Becomes extremely upset if they get moved. I redirect him. Are these signs? He is 2.
It sounds like he has some signs , yes. I do have fre eworkshops that can get started to teaching you how to help him! www.marybarbera.com/workshops

If you’re seeing Autism symptoms in your baby or toddler try cutting out gluten from their diet. Look for wheat and barley in lists ingredients and avoid it.
At around the age of 1 my beautiful son started withdrawing from the world. He became obsessed with pacing, lining up cars and spinning their wheels. His eye contact was very poor and he was lost inside his own head. At times it was as if my wife and I didn’t exists to him.
I was naturally heartbroken and frightened for his future. I didn’t understand what had happened to him and I didn’t know what to do.
I spoke to medical professionals and, although they tried, they weren’t much help. He was assessed and scored very high for Autism.
I didn’t sleep for about three days and was constantly reading about ways I could help him. After much research I found a study on gluten and the strange effects it can have on children.
I promptly cut gluten from his diet and the change in him was astonishing. I got my happy little boy back within a few days and after a few weeks he was completely free from the symptoms of Autism.
I’m not suggesting that this will work for everyone but it genuinely did for us. If it stops one family from going through the hell that we went through I will be delighted. If it works for your little one please get the word out.
That is good it worked for you. Usually combining nutritional approaches with therapy is a great combination.
Hello what kind of foods a gluten free? Any recipes
Most grocery stores now have an aisle dedicated to gluten free items.
Yes gluten-free is good?
These positive comments on this video is more educational and informatives and relieving than most "experts" who just want to hoard some money off me that i don't even have

@@kstayblessed my sons 4 and a half and still doesn't like it. We do it in his sleep.. Not easy. He hated his teeth rushed also but we managed to make that fun last year, no issues since. I'm sure they will grasp the hairdressers when just a little older 💪🏽
