My three-and-a-half-year-old friend has signs of a delay in speaking.
As parents, they do what any parent will do and take him to a pediatrician.
Let me back up and give you the details they are going through.
They have three and a half. year-
The classic little boy of "textbook sense seekers;
He couldn't get enough for anything, and his speaking ability and social skills were greatly delayed.
He manages tablets and phones very well like many of his peers.
At first, I thought it was incredible to watch him wrap his little finger around a home iPad or mother's phone, sliding through the icon into a particularly fun video or "educational" game.
He tapped the "game" and screamed with joy and pure joy.
After watching a video or playing a few rounds, he went back to the home screen and opened another app where he watched a collection of colorful cartoons.
Halfway through, he entered another game, which included animated fruit into the belly of the character.
When they tried to take the iPad, they experienced a temper that threatened to develop nuclear weapons;
Trembling Lips, tears, feet kick the floor, hands knead into fists, high
Scream loudly.
He seems to prefer an iPad or smartphone to anything else.
Sometimes it's the only one that keeps him quiet.
He appears to have symptoms of autism on the surface, but the autism experts they took him to are reluctant to give him a full assessment before the age of 4.
He already knows that their son doesn't exactly match autism and believes it will be diagnosed correctly if they wait.
According to their reading, his parents thought he might be diagnosed as a sensory disorder (SPD)
In the general population, one in every 20 people is affected and often inherited.
The origin of sensory processing disorders is not clear.
Preliminary studies have shown that the Social Democratic Party is often inherited.
None of the two families had a social democratic party and he did not meet the symptoms except for very few symptoms.
Symptoms of Spdlife can be found here. Another idea they had was that he had a general developmental disorder-not specifically stated (PDD-NOS); PPD-

His body is very active.
Especially his constant physical activity, running and jumping)
I don't think he follows the instructions very well, it's because he lacks discipline, but he has a lot of affection for family and relatives and good eye contact.
He has a big appetite, eats a lot of things in front of him, performs well in the crowd and around others, as long as he doesn't need to interact directly, because of his language skills and social skills, E. G. g.
Etiquette and similar underdeveloped.
His sports skills are very good, not very good.
He can't take a pencil and a fist like two hands. year-
Old with crayons.
His language and social skills are not well developed.
He understands more than he sometimes says.
He does not imitate sound or vocabulary very much, if any.
His parents knew that he had been put off on cognition, but it was difficult to determine how much he had been put off because he was that kind of child and he lacked discipline in my opinion, his parents did not devote time to development.
The only word he has always used properly is "pop" and as long as it is possible, he is excited to point to his grandfather.
He is constantly chattering, which is a baby conversation made up of words but incomplete conversational sentences.
So his vocabulary is limited and seems to be what he heard on video games and YouTube.
In addition to what he sees in the video or "educational game", he doesn't seem to have the concept of putting a word together with an image.
From all the articles they read about sensory seekers, extreme verbal delays do not seem particularly common.
They recently had an occupational therapist and a language therapist evaluate their son.
During the assessment they were asked how much screen time he had every day.
They think he works an average of 45 to 60 minutes a day.
From what I have observed, I believe the day will be longer and longer, close to 90 minutes.
Tablets, iPads, Android, or smartphones replace nanny and one-on-one interaction.
We all live a busy life and it seems harmless to take a few minutes off, at least they think so.
Language therapists pointed out to them the data of the recent pediatric journal study "handheld screen time is related to child language delay.
The "study" shows that the more time children under 2 years old spend playing with smartphones, tablets and other handheld screens, the more likely they will start talking later.
"According to the study, 20% of children under the age of two use the screen for about 30 minutes a day, resulting in a nearly 50% increase in the risk of language delay.
"The study was done by pediatricians at the hospital of sick children in Canada who examined screen time and its impact on 900 children aged 6 months to 2 years.
The results of this study show that using a touch screen, whether it's a tablet, iPad, iPhone or Android device, there is a 49% chance of delaying voice every 30 minutes.
Think about this: in 2011, 10% of children under the age of 2 in the United States used tablets or smartphones

This is the distraction of the opponent's head task, reducing their attention.
The study confirmed that the time of background TV reduces the interaction between the child and the parent, which hinders the child's language development.
