1. 10 Early Signs of Autism Parents Often Miss

Many parents think speech delay is the only sign.
But autism often shows earlier behavioural signals.
Dr Kondekar warns parents to watch for these signs:
1. Poor or inconsistent eye contact
2. Child does not respond to name repeatedly
3.Limited pointing or showing objects
4. Lack of interest in people or social play
5. Repetitive behaviors like
hand flapping, spinning, lining objects
6. Strong interest in specific objects or routines
7.Delayed imitation of actions
8. Reduced sharing of enjoyment with parents
9.Sensitivity to sounds, textures, or lights
10. Speech delay with poor social interaction
Dr Kondekar says:
Early recognition allows early intervention, and early intervention changes outcomes.

2. Why Screen Time Delays Speech in Children

Many children with speech delay spend hours watching mobile videos or TV.
Dr Kondekar warns:
Screens create passive listening, not communication learning.
Speech develops through interaction, not observation.
Problems caused by excessive screen exposure:
• Reduced eye contact
• Reduced parent-child interaction
• Less imitation of speech sounds
• Reduced attention span
• Delayed language development

Dr Kondekar advises:
Children learn speech from faces, voices, and interaction, not screens.

3. Dr Kondekar’s 7 Golden Rules for Autism Parenting
Raising a child with autism requires structure, patience, and correct strategy.
Dr Kondekar advises parents to follow these rules:
1. Build routines in daily activities
2 Encourage eye contact and interaction
3. Reduce unnecessary screen exposure
4. Practice communication daily
5. Reward effort, not perfection
6.Be patient and consistent
7.Focus on abilities, not only deficits
Dr Kondekar says:
Small daily efforts by parents create
the biggest developmental progress.

Dr Kondekar’s Core Principle

If we want children to develop the right abilities,
we must stop strengthening the opposite habits.

4 Why Some Autism Children Understand but Do Not Talk
Many parents say:
“My child understands everything but does not speak.”
Dr Kondekar explains:
Understanding and speaking are two different brain processes.
Children  develop receptive language (understanding) before expressive language (speaking).
Common reasons include:
1.Weak imitation ability
Speech requires the child to copy sounds and mouth movements.
2.Poor oral motor coordination
The child may understand words but struggles to produce sounds.
3. Limited communication need
If everything is given before asking, speech motivation reduces.
4. Passive listening from screens
Screens allow hearing words but do not build communication practice.
4. Reduced social attention
Speech grows when children observe faces and interact with people.
Dr Kondekar says:
Understanding is a good sign.
But speech begins when attention, imitation, and communication need develop together.

5. 10 Home Activities That Help Autism Children Start Talking

Parents are the most important speech trainers for their child.
Dr Kondekar advises these simple home activities:
1. Name calling practice
Call the child and wait for eye contact.
2. Imitation games
Clap, tap table, wave hand.
3.Sound play
Practice sounds like
“ma”, “ba”, “pa”.
4.Object naming during play
Ball, car, spoon, water.
5.Pause and wait technique
Pause during activity so the child attempts communication.
5. Action words practice
Open, give, go, eat.
7.Mirror play
Let the child watch mouth movements.
8.Pointing practice
Encourage pointing to objects.
9. Turn-taking games
Roll ball back and forth.
10. Reward communication attempts
Praise every small effort.
Dr Kondekar insists:
Daily 15–30 minutes of structured interaction can change speech development.

6.The Hidden Reason Speech Therapy Fails in Some Children:
Sometimes therapy continues for months but speech progress remains limited.
Dr Kondekar warns that speech therapy fails when foundations are weak.
Common hidden reasons:
1. Weak attention span
The child does not stay engaged long enough to learn
2. Lack of imitation skills
Without imitation, speech cannot develop.
3. Excessive screen exposure
Screens reduce face-to-face communication.
4.Therapy without home practice
Speech development requires daily reinforcement at home.
5. Entertainment-dominant lifestyle
Too much stimulation reduces focus for structured learning.
Dr Kondekar says:
Speech therapy works best when three foundations are strong:
• Attention
• Imitation
• Communication need
Without these, therapy becomes effort without progress.
Dr Kondekar’s Core Principle
Speech begins with attention.
Language grows from experience.
Words come last.
