Speech Delay or Autism? Know the Difference, Take the Right Step
Not all speech delays mean Autism—but every delay deserves your full attention.
A child with a simple speech delay may only have difficulty forming words or expressing thoughts. In contrast, a child on the Autism spectrum may also show signs like avoiding eye contact, limited social interaction, repetitive behaviors, or resistance to change in routine.

Understanding the difference early can change everything.

With proper screening and support, children—regardless of diagnosis—can make meaningful progress. Early intervention doesn't just support speech; it boosts confidence, learning, and connection.

Stroke! Stroke!! Stroke!!!

The havoc caused by the stroke can not be overemphasized, many lives (both young and old) has been claimed by this menace. So many people's comfortability and right to healthy living have been truncated or denied as a result of Stroke. An array of unimaginable dents have been made to marriages, families, rendering children orphans.

According to Prof. Njideka Okubadejo, Nigeria's first female Neurologist in her research, 28,520 people die of stroke in Nigeria. This is extrapolated to our current estimated population of approximately 184millions.
Also the World Health Organisation (WHO) in her research stated that, stroke is the most leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and it is more worsen in developing countries.

What do we understand by the word stroke?
Firstly, it is Norma known as Cerebro-Vascular Accident (CVA) or Cerebro-Vascular Disease (CVD) in medical parlance. But, is generally knowns as "Stroke". It is an attack to the brain when blood flow to the brain in cut short or is disrupted. This shortage of blood flow to the brain might be due to rupture of blood vessels leading to leakages to the surrounding cells. It might be due to a blockage in the blood vessels, which prevents the blood from reaching their designed destination. In the advent of any of the above scenario, some areas of the brain are deprived blood supply and consequently oxygen supply. This kills the brain cells and the ability to control the area of the brain such as memory, and muscles coordination are lost.

Stroke can be as a result of the aneuryms burst or a weakened blood vessel leak which is refers as Haemorrhagic Stroke or as a result of the blood vessel carrying blood to the brain been blocked by a blood clot this is called Ischemic Stroke.
Stroke can result to lasting brain damage and long-term disability or even dealth depending on the level of the brain been affected or damaged.
Before any situation will lead to stroke it would have given some signals /signs "No stroke without symptoms" some of the symptoms are :

* Difficulty in walking.
*Paralysis with weak musles.
*Blurred vision.
*Double vision.
*Sudden visual loss.
*Slurred speech.
*Trouble in speaking and understanding....etc
if any of the signs manifest, kindly contact your doctor immediately, to limit the effect.
Research as also shown that people with high or low blood pressure have greater risk to stroke also, high blood sugar can lead to stroke if not properly treated or monitored..

Speech impairments has been one of the major issues our society has neglected. Can we say, it is because they are ignorant of the menace posed by speech anomaly, or they have resolved themselves to fate?. Speech Impairment has a great toll on the daily lives, communication and Social interaction of the affected persons.

It might be said that many of the affected persons and their families are often ignorant of what should be done. and has no clue on what should be done.

Some even source for solutions where it can not be found.
Many children/adult has suffered this effect because of our uncared attitude or lack of knowledge/awareness. People/children with one disability or the other have lost their speech to their impairment such as children/people having Stroke, Cerebral Palsy , Autism, Articulation Disorder , Tongue Tie , Hydrocephalus, Down Syndrome and more, because they have no knowledge on what should be done and how they can help their children, adults including families regain their communication skill.

Among many, we have to understand that speech impairment can really affect someone's social interactions and limit a person's ability to communicate. Both children/Adult with severe speech impairments may not develop normal communication skills and this may cause shame, embarrassment, frustration, anger, and depression as a result of their speech impairments.

Speech impairments can be very isolating and can also be challenging but,treatment such as speech training can improve communication abilities and therefore your quality of life.
To be continued.....
Your question is welcome.
