  • Hi,

    I totally understand how you feel. My son is also 2.5 years old and diagnosised as well.  My husband is very busy and I have to deal with my son all by myself. He is also speech delayed.

    We just started our speech theorapy. According to the 2 speech theorapy sessions we attended, I felt it's more like training the parents who will go home and then train their child. How we behave towards them has huge impact rather than the once or twice speech theorapies per week. I can see some improvement since I started to label everything.(It's very tiring)

    My son is also very active. He couldn't stop and is always on move. However, he does sleep ok. I used to give him a dummy, a sleeping buddy(a toy with weak light and music) and a pillow to help him sleep. Now he doesn't need the dummy any more. I felt if my son is very exhausted and he falls in sleep quite fast, otherwise he will turn around and climb on me for ages. I took my son to the playground quite a lot to burn some energy.
