A toddler talking late can be scary for any parent. In today’s video I’m covering the difference between a late talker vs. autism. Speech development in children who are developing typically tend to show some similarities in how much speech they know at certain ages. Most toddlers are saying about 20 words by 18 months and 50 or more words by the time they turn two. But speech development in toddlers that have developmental delays, a speech delay, or autism show that sometimes they end being completely non-vocal or don’t use language fluently.
While delays in speech and babbling can be normal, there are several accompanying factors you want to consider before stressing out about whether your child might have autism. However, whether it’s a speech delay, ADHD, autism, or late talking, you should know the milestones, you should assess your child, and you should have a plan in place to help your child or client catch up. Developing speech in toddlers when they are older can be much more difficult than when they are young. So as soon as you see late talking or some of the other signs of autism I cover in today’s video, act, and don’t wait.

My granddaughter didn’t start talking till she turned 4. Before she would always point at things she wanted. Now she speaks perfectly clear.

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 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.

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

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 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

@yolandawilliams5894

That's my son, I believe he's a late talker. He had to get ear tubes and os not completely successful in the hearing test. It's crazy, because everything you talk about we experience. It's not Autism. He's 2 and says Stop and Go. He knows what he wants, and will guide you to it. Veey independent, and looks at you. However he is scheduled to have an autism test.

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.

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 ?

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

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 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 .
