DQ 70 at age 2. Now in junior preschool, no issues at daycare...!?
Thank you so much for visiting the page of a science-loving mom raising a 3-year-old son whose speech is growing rapidly and a 1-year-old daughter.😊
Making the family happy with a 【gentle face】.
I hope to share some tips on that.
It has already been 4 months since we moved and changed schools.
In the municipality we moved to, it seems that once a year, a public health nurse from the developmental support center visits the nursery school—something we didn't have in our previous municipality—and last week was that day.
If you wish, you can hear about how the day went from the visiting public health nurse. Of course, I called first thing the next morning to ask.📞
Today, I am recording what I heard there as a memorandum.
【My son's history so far】
◆Age 1
No speech, hand-leading behavior present, no joint attention, no pointing.
◆Age 2
Diagnosed with mild ASD at 2 years and 9 months. DQ 70.
Speech was almost exclusively "Ma-- (Mama)." Joint attention and pointing present. Follows simple instructions. (Though often completely ignored as well.)
◆Age 3
From 3 years and 5 months, started using child development support → Speech increased rapidly.
◆Activities on the day
① Free play
② Duck, duck, goose (Handkerchief drop game)
③ Red light, green light (Daruma-san ga koronda)
④ Walk
① Free play
☑︎ Enjoyed playing house mixed in with teachers and friends.
☑︎ There was interaction.
☑︎ When it was time to clean up, he saw his friends starting to clean up and joined in himself.
👍 Can interact while doing pretend play
👍 No issues with switching to cleanup time
🙂 Instead of pretending to eat, he bit the toy and was scolded by the teacher
🙂 Cleaned up while crawling (perhaps while fooling around...?)
🙂 Pronunciation is still unclear
② Duck, duck, goose
☑︎ Not just my son, but other friends also had a vague understanding of the rules.
☑︎ When my son had the handkerchief dropped behind him, he was able to start running but was caught.
③ Red light, green light
☑︎ Understands the rules and can play without special assistance.
☑︎ Moves relatively quickly and gets caught.
👍 Can understand the rules and play with friends
🙂 The "stop" action might be a little difficult
④ Walk
☑︎ Put on his hat and, although he struggled with putting on his socks, he did it by himself.
☑︎ Gave a high-five to a teacher from the middle-year class before heading out.
👍 Can do his own preparations by himself
👍 Can communicate with teachers from other classes too
Daily behavior and summary
☑︎Spending time calmly as usual
☑︎He is a picky eater, but he has started eating a little bit more recently
(Public health nurse's summary)
I would like to see a bit more growth in his pronunciation and his understanding that he shouldn't bite toys, but overall he has been spending his time calmly
My thoughts after hearing this
My son has really grown so much!It was a report that filled me with deep emotion.
Could I even go as far as to say“no problems”at this point!? (My head is in the clouds again lol)
The kindergarten before we moved was a large-scale school with 3 classes per grade. He generally seemed to enjoy going, but there were times he would fuss,“I don't want to wear the uniform”
On the other hand, the current school is a small-scale one where the younger, middle, and older classes spend time on the same floor. There is no uniform. It is a well-staffed school with 10 children, 2 homeroom teachers, and 1 support teacher by default.
It seems that this level ofcompactnesswas a good fit for my son.
Thinking about it, the elementary school in our district has a very large number of students, so I amanxious about him starting schoolbut... I'll think about that another time ←
So, for all the moms and dads who are super anxious because their 1 or 2-year-old has crane behavior, no pointing, and no speech,please don't lose hope...
Thank you so much as always for the likes, comments, and follows.
I truly appreciate it.
Please treat me kindly.
