You can see the excitement in me when he is repeating my words as before this I felt that he would not even make sounds but now it seems that he is speaking.
This was in 2016 and now he is 5 years old. Usually by the age of 3, a child has started speaking and writing but my brother still has trouble doing this.
As you watch the video, you can see how difficult it is for him to repeat the simple words such as "ipad" or "abang" (which means "big brother" in Malay) this is his struggle everyday. His therapist has asked us to make him repeat certain words everyday . We have to be persistent and not give up. He tries his best but most of the time the sound just doesn't come out right
There are mixed results, sometimes he will repeat the words clearly, or sometimes he will not even try. However I admire his determination in trying to repeat all the words
Anda boleh melihat kerseronokan saya ketika adik saya mengulangi kata-kata saya. Sebelum ini saya berfikir bahawa dia akan senyap tetapi sekarang dia telah bermula bercakap.
​
Video ini telah dirakam pada 2016 semasa dia berumur 5 tahun . Selaluny kanak-kanak telah mula bercakap dan menulis pada umur 3 tahun tetapi adik saya belum lagi.
​
Semasa anda memonton video, anda boleh melihat dia mempunyai kesukaran untuk mengulangi perkataan mudah seperti "ipad" atau "abang". Ini adalah cabarannya setiap hari, Ahli terapinya telah menyuruh kami mengulangi perkataan tertentu setiap hari. Kami mesti terus melakukan ini dan tidak berputus asa. Dia cuba yang terbaik tetapi kebanyakan masa dia tidak dapat menyebut dengan betul.
​
Cubaan untuk bercakap tidak selalu membuahkan hasil. Kadang-kadang, dia akan mengulangi perkataan dengan jelas atau dia tidak akan cuba langsung dan berdiam . Namun saya mengagumi keazamannya untuk mencuba mengulangi sebutan walaupun susah.
Communication
problem:
One of the biggest problem that people with Autism have is the trouble communicating with people.
-
Speech Delays
-
Unable to express emotions
-
Unable to request for anything
-
No clear words, just making sounds.
-
Unable to speak in full sentences
Almost a third of all people with Autism have this problem
​

Masalah Berkomunikasi
Salah satu masalah yang paling besar yang individu Autisme hadapi ialah masalah berkomunikasi dengan orang lain:
​
-
Kelewatan ucapan
-
Kesukaran untuk meluahkan emosi
-
Kesukaran untuk memohon
-
Tidak ada perkataan jelas dan membuat bunyi sahaja.
-
Tidak boleh bercakap satu ayat lengkap.
Hampir satu pertiga dari jumlah individu autisme mempunyai masalah ini
​Communication does not only mean speaking but also gesturing . This is the biggest red-flag that my parents knew that my brother had something that was not quite normal compared to other kids. He was two years old and had no words coming out of his mouth and he even stopped gesturing (like pointing to show what he wants) until he was 5 years old when started intensive therapy
Komunikasi tidak hanya bermakna bercakap tetapi gerak isyarat. Ini adalah "red flag" besar yang menunjuk adik saya tidak biasa berbanding dengan budak lain. Semasa dia berusia 2, dia langsung tidak dapat menyebut satu perkataan dan dia juga berhenti membuat gerak isyarat (contohnya menunjuk pada apa dia mahu) sehinggalah dia berumur 5 tahun dan memulakan terapi intensif

We were unable to understand what was wrong when he cried and we were sad because we, we cannot have any conversations with him like how normal people would speak to one another.
How do you help them:
Break the words apart when speaking to them

Saying each syllable slowly and carefully can help them know what to say.

Since January 2016 he has been using PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System). He has been taught to use pictures of items he desires to tell people what he wants. This has helped him a lot and made him understand the need to communicate. He also threw less tantrum.
​
Recently, he has been working with his therapist and us to use an app called “TeachSpeech” which helps him communicate in the same way as PECS.
Kami tidak dapat memahami apa masalahnya ketika dia menangis dan kami berasa sedih kerana kita tidak dapat berbual dengannya seperti orang normal bercakap di antara satu sama lain.
​
Bagaimana kita boleh menolong mereka:
Pecahkan perkataan seperti berikut:
​
Pisang
​
PI-SANG
​
Memecahkan perkataan dan menyebutnya perlahan-lahan boleh membantu mereka bercakap.
​
Sejak januari 2016 dia telah menggunakan "Picture Exchange Communication System" (PECS). Dia diajar mengguna gambar untuk memberitahu orang apa yang dia kehendaki. Ini telah banyak menolongdan membuat dia memahami keperluan berkomunikasi. Dia juga kurang mengamuk.
​
Baru-baru ini dia bekerja dengan ahli terapi untuk mempelajari penggunaan app "Teach speach:" yang menolong dia berkominikasi sama seperti PECS.
