Priceless!

Last week, my son D finally answered the question "What's your name?"

You see, my son is 3 years old and has GDD (Global Developmental Delay). This means his development is delayed in most milestones/developmental areas. His doctor said he is like a 2 year old in terms of his current capacity.

Before he would just echo whatever you tell him. If you ask him "What's your name?", he will say "What's your name?" back. Sometimes it gets frustrating especially when he's in a bad mood and you don't know what he wants. He also babbles a lot.

D also has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). This makes it hard for him to learn how to speak correctly because his attention is very limited. He can sit and listen to you for 2 minutes tops! That's the longest he's been able to pay attention. After that, he'll get distracted by something else or run around the room.

After being in therapy for almost a month, it was very heart-warming to finally hear him answer that question. A very big milestone for him and for us. We're hearing good feedback from his teachers as well so I hope this continues on :-)
