Thank you so much for this, my son is nonverbal and he is 12 years. He has been diagnosed with autism at the age 2. We asked if tongue tie was the problem, we have been told no, and no one seems to care. This is sad because these medical professionals don’t want to listen to the parents who are going through a lot.

my 11 year old daughter is a mouth breather and I’ve known for many years that it’s bad. i’ve done sleep tests and seen the ENT but none of them will help. It’s like nobody cares or will admit that mouth breathing and crowded teeth aren’t normal. Her teeth are extremely crowded and she’ll be getting braces within the year. Her school diagnosed her with a speech impediment this year but i can’t get a referral to a speech therapist via her pediatrician. i still don’t know what to do. my daughter is currently being evaluated for autism.

Thank you for this. My son is no verbal and has a finger sucking addiction. He also has apnea and weak tongue and small pallets. I got told the same thing by ent but we are working with a myofunctional therapist and dentist to restrenghtwn his tongue, redo his tongue tie and wonder the pallets. I hope so at age two it will be easier while he is growing.

It’s tragic & disgusting the level of sheer disinterest among so called experts and society in general on the suffering of those with autism.

Preferring instead to believe in the delusions of neurodiversity & so-called superpowers while the most vulnerable are just dumped.
