My child and 14 months old but he only makes a few sounds. We thought that he would start peaking a bit late but he does not. he does not look at us when we call him. Even if we sit him facing on our lap and look at him, he seems distracted.We consulted a doctor who told us to do BERA testing, the results of which are normal but we have been asked to consult a pediatric neurologist. because of the lockdown, we have not been able to go anywhere. Please suggest what should we do. Is there anything we can do at home to improve his response to his name and start speaking

My child is 2.6 yrs old, he only speaks few words and mostly uses gestures to tell us if he wants something. I am worried as he is still not speaking. My relatives told me that some children speak late but I think I have waited too long. I see other children speaking pretty early. My child does not like to play or interact with other children and has problems understanding simple instructions. is this a sign of some developmental disorder. During this COVID times, I am worried about going to the doctor, please suggest

My son is 8 years old and he has ADHD. while we were taking him. for therapy, he was improving but since the past 4 mths, due to absence of any therapy, he has regressed. he used to sit and do a lot of activities at least for some time and understand our instructions. now he does not want to sit for any simple activity like reading simple books or even drawing. he has been attending online school but with too much reluctance but he loses complete interest after the first 3-4 min. What should I do

hi, my son is 1.8 yrs old, he is yet to speak properly. he tends to keep repeating certain words such as ball and circle whenever he sees a spherical object instead of naming th object. he has a fascination with playing with balls and looking at ceiling fans, he gets very excited and moves his hand to show the action of the fan. he can say the word fan but does not do it on his own, we have to prompt him a lot. Is this a cause for worry

my child is 3.5 yrs old, he is very restless and hyperactive, he likes to play with his spit and speaks only when he needs something. he does not like to play age appropriate games and prefers scribbling but cant colour inside borders. Is this a sign of autism or ADHD or any other disorder. On the internet, it is very confusing because there is too much stuff. it scares me and I am unable to relax

Doctor, at what age Autism can be diagnosed... my child is 5 and is developing ok physically it seems except that he does not play appropriately, with his toys. he loves to run and jump on cushions, he is very energetic but he does not like any change in his day to day activities, also he does not like to eat semi solid or soft food, he spits or vomits it out. Is it some allergy or cause of worry, I have read that kids who are too energetic can be autistic.

My child is 5 years old and he has tendency to wander off to far places in our society or on road's. Earlier at the age of 3-4 years he has attention deficit issue. We were very scared when we almost lost him a few times, then one of our friends told about Trakbond GPS Tracker for kids ( https://www.amazon.in/Trakbond-Smallest-Accurate-Tracking-Preconfigured/dp/B07FQFJF5N/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=trakbond&qid=1594633715&sr=8-3 ) and the company claims it's very safe for small children as radiation is very low, and also it does not have any harmful effects. This gadget helped to save our kids a few times, and we are very satisfied. We want to know if such kind of devices are safe for kids, specially Special kids with attention deficit?

My daughter is 3.5 years old, she speaks very less only in words she cannot make sentence. She never sit for a single minute always running here and there and jumping all the time.
