A good number of time children with autism are seen cranky, crying or irritated, restless and not receptive or cooperative. There are few reasons which can help us settle the issue. 1. Tantrums: These also called temper tantrums, often have a reason or need not being met. The reason can be as stupid or simple but may not be often obvious. The cry is mainly because the demand is denied. So when a child showing tantrums, he may giving a good eye contact and some response to communication or bargain or deal. Often it's close to stubbornness.  Tantrums is best tackled not by meeting the demand but by ignoring it. 2. Stubbornness: is often associated cry as there is obvious resistance from both sides. The resistance can be for any specific pattern of behaviour action communication or need of some object. When a child starts developing his social communication, his ego starts developing.

Speech often confused as just a verbal expression, actually needs to understand as any mode of communication between two living beings in the form of  listening speech, understanding speech and expressing speech through action or gestures or words. Speech-language development is best understood as a progression from attention and listening → understanding → intentional communication → words → sentences → conversation . Autism does not have a single speech-milestone pattern; the important issue is the quality, purpose and progression of communication , not simply the number of words. Speech milestones: typically developing vs autism Age Typically developing child Child with autism — possible pattern 0–3 months Reacts to sounds, calms to familiar voice, coos May show reduced response to voice/sounds or less social engagement 4–6 months Laughs, vocalises, babbles, enjoys interaction Less reciprocal vocalisation, reduced social response or limited shared attention may appea...

Why Most Autism Therapies Fail — And What Parents Must Do Instead By Prof. Dr. Santosh Kondekar Autism Doctor India | 🌐 www.autismdoctor.in Many parents start autism therapy with great hope. They attend occupational therapy sessions, speech therapy, behavioural programs, and various exercises. Months or years pass, yet sometimes the progress remains slow or incomplete. The reason is simple: autism is not just a therapy problem — it is a brain processing problem. When therapy focuses only on exercises, sensory activities, or behaviour control, it may improve input and activity, but it may not necessarily improve understanding, processing, and communication inside the brain. That is why many families feel stuck despite doing “everything”. Here are some important truths parents must understand. First, autism development depends on brain connections. Every new skill means that the brain has created a new connection or strengthened an existing one. If intervention stops midway,...

Development is a sequential process .. so should therapy be  If your therapist or your home therapy expert is using the same toys puzzles acitivities for your kid more than 3 months, you are wasting time. After birth, kids learns to recognise mother first. Recognising humans and eye contact with humans shall be the first stage of development and so for therapies.. So prime Goal is connect with humans... And not with objects, letters and numbers. One who is not connecting with humans and u r trying to teach through objects letters numbers.. u r taking the kid away from communication.

20 Hard Truths About Autism Therapy Parents Must Know By Prof. Dr. Santosh Kondekar Autism Doctor India | 🌐 www.autismdoctor.in Autism is not a simple developmental delay that improves automatically with time. It requires deep understanding, consistent effort, and structured intervention. Over the years of working with thousands of children, certain realities become very clear. These truths may sound difficult, but understanding them can change the direction of a child’s progress. 1. Autism is primarily a brain processing issue The core challenge in autism lies in how the brain processes information, not simply how the child behaves. 2. Exercises alone cannot solve autism Therapies that focus only on physical or sensory exercises improve input, but they do not necessarily improve brain processing and understanding. 3. Early intervention matters more than perfect therapy Starting early is far more powerful than waiting for the “best therapy”. 4. Half-hearted intervention leads to half ...

Autistic kids will go away from learning language and understanding if we increase screen time with YouTube or videos or repititive content. Music rhymes and videos only help in entertainment if child is not receptive for understanding। Using mobile phones for selfie helps develop eye contact -connection। Using mobile phones for video calls helps one socialise and develop understanding of social communication। Using mobile phones for listening recorded call records will help kid understanding conversations। But if u are using for showing videos to kid or for rhymes or repititive content, u r wasting time and life। Remember learning abcd or 1234 or counting or animal or repititive content recognition is not important in life। Before teaching ato z alphabets, teach the kid ato z relatives by picture face video call and names। www.autismdoctor.in for all post links click  https://speechandsenses.blogspot.com/p/httpsspeechandsenses.html Dr Santosh V Kondekar Autism doctor I...

But if the child has 5o strain, it's better to call it constipation and manage as early as possible. A child refusingt I sit for potty or doingw eird gestures at potty time or making legs curved or not sitting properly or had pain or discomfort is likely to have indigestion which eventually causes constipation.  The gut is 18 feet long and if the child passes less than 4 inches motion block at a time, it's likely 5o be constipation.
