Hello sir, I hope you understand Autism well, if not I humbly request you to read about it. It is really important to understand the condition if you wish to work on home program. 1) please try and improve eye contact of your child through food items of his choice. Take it to your eye then to his and then again back to your eye and then to his mouth to feed him. 2) Reinforce him if he response to his name but try to cut on iPad, mobile and t.v. They gadgets are not good for him considering his condition. 3) try to involve him in home task and role plays. 4) Everytime reinforce good behaviour and teach him waiting if he needs anything, ask him to wait for 30 second before giving. Increase waiting time slowly. 5) you haven't mentioned if he can speak few words or nothing at all. So I can't guide you regarding speech and language. 6) maintain a strict sleeping, eating, playing schedule for him. Take him to park at least for half an hour daily. 7) please mention what all sensory issues he has so that I can guide you further. 8) Consult a professional time to time so that a customised home program can be formulated for your son. I hope it will be helpful.

Hello Mr. lybrate-user, Please don't take your cup of tea on empty stomach or when you r hungry. Eat a banana or dry fruits first thing in the morning as you wake up. You can have tea later after an hour or so. Please avoid taking tea with breakfast also. Tea and coffee block our iron absorption and no nutrition reaches our cells from the breakfast. Have a healthy life!

If she can speak English language without any problem of pronunciation and only problem is with few hindi syllable then she probably do not require speech therapy, she requires attention and correct repetition of those words and monosyllables. Motivate child to speak slowly and reinforce her when she speaks clearly. As a parent you try to speak with her as slowly as possible. Please ask her teacher also to do the same in class.
