Then I wouldn't attribute it to anything. Just get him the therapy he needs.

I think the question about Covid is a fair one. Another avenue you should pursue is genetics. He has enough varied concerns that genetic testing is reasonable to consider.

He’s getting tons and tons therapy. I’m in the middle of doing testing. He also came back positive for MTHFR.

I'm not sure if this is a response to the comment about genetics. You should see a geneticist (unless your neurologist is ordering an exome in which case you should wait for the result and then see a geneticist).

Most geneticists won't take mthfr seriously.
Any immune activation event can affect the nervous system so it's entirely plausible that covid is a contributing cause. Covid is especially known for a chronic sustained immune response, which can equal chronic neuroinflammation, which will definitely affect neurodevelopment. In terms of how this can inform treatment, you want to work on addressing inflammation and the immune system response, and any residual infection if it's still present. People are seeing goof results with ivermectin and also LDN
Also since it's many years later, the inflammation may have had downstream effects on other systems like the gut and blood brain barrier, so those are things to look into as well.

A little different. Also sensory but avoidant. Motor delays. Muscle tone issues.
I know the symptoms are different but I have reason to suspect that it may run according to similar pathways, especially since you mentioned mhtfr. I can share what worked for us privately. I don't want to post it publicly.

I’m wondering if anyone else’s child has issues and had COVID as a baby.
I’m wondering if his issues are related??
Does anyone know? |
My child was born during covid (july 2020) and is very speech delayed. Didn't talk at all before she turned 3. Only said mommy, daddy, no, yes.
We never had covid though, none of us. So I think it's because of the masks. When she started speech therapy at 2 years old her speech therapist WAS WEARING a MASK!! Can you believe it? It's so nonsensical. I asked her a million times how that would make any sense since my daughter couldn't see her mouth. She said that was the rules. When she took off her mask about 7 /8 months later my daughter was shocked. Needed a few weeks to get used to it. It was crazy.

Did you test for covid or are you just assuming you never had it?

Just going to say that none of these are necessary for covid to impact the brain and leave lasting damage.

The speech therapist was wearing a mask at the end of 2022? This doesn’t really add up mathematically, maybe you have a typo or something?

My son was born in Sept 2020. He (we) are enrolled in a study out of Columbia (where he was born) for babies who’s moms had covid while he was in utero (I had covid in March 2020) the Study focuses on baby’s development. (https://www.vagelos.columbia.edu/research/areas-research/combo)
They have published studies showing delays. My son for one was quite delayed in both speech and physical.

kept back for another year of kindergarten and iyH I am davening will start grade 1 in a good place. Literally my only developmentally advanced kid, is now delayed because someone decided to spread omicron and that quarantine doesn't have to be kept if you fly in from abroad covid positive.
