Pregnant and delayed toddler?

Question

I just found I’m pregnant today and my one year is starting speech therapy plus other things there looking possibly autism. My 7 yr old does speech too and she has a hard time in school plus she’s about to start online school , I was having a hard time with everything already and i just found I’m pregnant so now I’m lost I’m so scared anybody going through the same thing or something similar

Answer

One year is too early for speech therapy, and autism

Answer

My two and a half year old has a speech delay, but it’s no big deal.. that’s honestly all developmental. 1 is way to early to be diagnosing autism. I also have a 16 month old and am 21 weeks pregnant. I’m tired and this pregnancy has been the hardest yet, but we’re hanging in there. 
I would not stress about your one year old at all... every child is different. Try taking it one day at a time and giving yourself a little grace.

Answer

My 8 year old use to do speech therapy he is Autistic (High Functioning)  he went through the same thing. My 1 year old is going to be doing speech therapy soon, he is a bit behind.

Answer

My older daughter (turning 4 tomorrow!) has a rare genetic mutation that causes severe developmental disabilities and a handle up of medical problems. She started in early intervention at around 8 months and got a formal diagnosis just before she turned 1. We also have a 16 month old baby. 
Having two kids when one has disabilities can be tricky in some ways but it’s the only thing I know so we mostly just go with it! My older daughter gets lots and lots of therapy and has extra doctors appointments and medical stuff (like a feeding tube) that take extra time and attention but I think we handle it! 
Try not to stress about the “big picture” or the unknowns. Focus on what you know and what you can do right now. Ask for help when you need it (harder right now with covid but there are still ways people can be helpful and still stay safe). Find supportive people. You got this!
