[QUOTE=KajoliT]R ha d a few words which he lost somewhere around 18 months -he never had a real regression or went into his own world- in fact thi was also the time when he becasme more and more affectionate and loving with me ( also becasue he got glasses - I think ( knock on wood ) but between 18-24 months it wasl like someone had pressed the pause button on his development and then inserted a different tape [/QUOTE]
THis is exactly what happened with us, although I think it was closer to 15 months. Nikolas said mama for the first time at about 9-10 months. I will never forget it. DH was holding him and he was sucking a bottle and he sat up, looked me square in the eye and said mama. He wanted me to hold him so we traded kids. It was also the last time he said it until about 3 years old.
We had a major regression after 15 months. He had his 15 months shots and never recovered. He was sick the next day and slowly withdrew from the world.
I hate to watch videos prior to 15 months. They just make cry. Here was a child who could say mommy & daddy --to not noticing we were in the room.
We have seen ups and downs, some regression, some flat plateus. But when Ryan takes off on his "learning" curve it really shows. No advise except to be patient and take joy in the times they move forward. They tend to do so at their own pace.
All the best to you,

Is there a certain risk time for this to happen???
What are the ages??
No regression here ... other than stress-related or developmental ons (prior to progress). Just delays.
I think I posted recently though, that symptoms become more apparent, different symptoms, as she develops and others have different expectations of her.
2 1/2 - 3
Used to sing songs and count and was even learning the alphabet; lost all that. Now at 4 1/2 he is verbal but usually it's just repeating words no spontaneous conversation or questions and his articulation is poor. Never really lost eye contact; he's always been aware and will engage is contact (if largely to meet his sensory needs.)
2 1/2 was about the age we noticed Matthew getting more withdrawn and anxious, although it seemed like a regression he didn't loose words etc. I just will be happier when we are past the "risk time" if you know what I mean. Maybe it is helpful that he is already in therapy and being engaged constantly so it might help prevent that social withdrawal. I hope so anyway! Thanks for your answers, although I was hoping most regressions were earlier (before 2) so I could stop worrying! This happenend a around age 2 1/2 year old with J. I took her to day care 1 day a week. I thought this would help her socialize being around kids her own age. It seems like it made her worse. She stopped making noises and stopped saying her few words. Age 3 yrs 10 months, she had an IEP as modernly severe developmental delay. I saw a complete 180 change at age 5 for the better. Payne was 2. It was right around the time his seizures started again...with a vengeance. He was talking, walking, etc late in the developmental milestones, but he was attempting on mark...was taking a while to master them though. Then his vocab shut down...more baby talk...gibberish. He stopped walking normally and more on his toes...his hand/eye coordination went out the window. He became more picky about food, etc. What age did you child suffer their major regression ( if they had one)? I worry so much about my 2 year old. Right now he is doing quite well but I worry all the time that he will regress and loose all his words etc. My oldest never really regressed like that, he became a bit withdrawn and anxious but it was over a long period of time and there were earlier signs as well but he never lost skills or words or anything. Everytime my 2 year old does something a little odd I start to worry. We know he has some delays and he's in therapy already but does anyone know when the risk is less for those severe cases of regression?At the age of three he showed regression. He was late in talking, but he talked, he pointed he always responded to his name. After 3, he slipped into his own world, lost his speech and interest to communicate...list can go on and on.
Now at 5, he has regain a lot, but we strugle with peer interaction badly, speech is delayed but not too much...
It was between the ages of 2 1/2 to 3 for my son. He became sick
around the age of 22 months with ear infection after ear infection, then sinus infections etc. We slowly watched him disappear then. By the
time he was 3, it was like he disappeared. Even now with all the
therapies and the things we have tried.....tho he has come along way.
It's still like the first 3 1/2 to 4 years are gone. He stays about that far behind in everything,...speech, academics, OT, .... you name it.
The major regression occured between 2 1/2 to 3 1/2.We have never had a regression, just major delays. It sometimes took a LOOONNNNNGGGG time to gain skills, but he never lost any once he gained them.I would have to say around 3 or so, but that is reading back on some older evaluations. My kiddo had surgeries to correct a birth defect, so I wasn't realizing he was regressing ... just thought he was recovering from surgery.
