My daughter

my daughter who is 2 years 9 months and ASD has getting more sensory than before. She doesn’t call me mama and I don’t think she know I am mama. Anyone has similar experience? Thanks 

  • My daughter is very sensory too. How about your son?

  • Hi, our son at a similar age ASD never really talked a lot just pointed occasionally always looked in deep thought.

  • Our son at that age ASD  hardly talked unless you talked to him always content and happy in his own world.  It was so difficult at the time I am an only child his dad also ASD so never thought 1990s any thing about it .  I just presumed he was quiet like his dad.  Looking back now his sister at the same age was a full on chatter box always asking questions.  Frequently saying mummy and daddy.   Now I get big hugs in fact he always communicated in hugs a very loving child. She most likely will know but  the skill to communicated verbally not developed.

  • Thanks! She is verbal but very few words and sometime she rather not to talk, by just holding my hands. 

  • Not personally, I know other parents have described an Increase in sensory seeking behaviour at that age. Is your daughter at all verbal? I saw you mentioned in another post that she has been assessed and presumably is receiving speech and language therapy? (possibly might be a bit young I'm not sure sorry) if so speak to them they might have a clearer insight of your daughters understanding 

    Sorry couldn't be more help wishing you the best
