Do you have any questions about AUTISM?

user

If you have any questions about autism then ask away!

I am not a Dr.! (to be honest that makes me giggle)

I am a mom with a child that has autism. I have nine years experience dealing with it first hand.

My motivation comes from my son. He is my inspiration and the person I admire the most! He goes through things that you and I can't even imagine yet he smiles and laughs and at the end of the day I smile and laugh with him.

    YES I DO!!! please ,I need some advice on my grandson. He is only 9 months old but already I feel there is something about him,just not quite right. I do not like useing the terms(not normal)after all- what IS normal anyway? But let me tell you a few of the things I have noticed in him. Since birth(yes,almost emediate),he would make eye contact,but if you picked him up he would turn away.he still does this for the most part. He has a fascination with fans,and anything spinning. Even a simple box held on its point and spun,will delight him.

    He could watch and focus on the T.V. forever if you let him. He also has this shake ..his whole body stiffens and shakes in spirts.

    He is in all other ways an interactive ,quick learning *though impatient*adorable, happy boy.

    I have gone on other sights to try and find info and get feedback,but never really recieved much in reply. Please leave me a message with any advice you may have on what I should do,or not do,and if you know of where I should start in getting him tested,if that is possible at his age. Thank you, Measongs

    ive been having questions about my sons behavior since around 13 months... my doctor says theres nothing to be concerned with; even though as a mother, ive notice litle small things that will set my son off... maybe, im comparing him to his older brother too much, who has always been pretty advanced and "smart" for his age.... they say all kids are different, but i dont see my 2nd child reaching the milestones as my first did........ he just turned 3 and there are certain things that I expect he would be doing by this age that my 1st did; .........we've been to speech therapy, as i noticed his languange/pronunciation is still not up to par with my eldest at the same age...... am i just making too much of a deal of it, or just expecting too much from the 2nd child who just doesnt seem "as fast" to learn as the 1st??????????!?!?!???!??!

    i have a 7yr old daughter who has autism.they only diagnosed her three yrs ago. and recently she has been having these crying fits ,more like screaming. they just happen out of nowhere there seems to be no reason. i've took her to her doctor but they say there is nothing wrong with her but she spends most of the day crying and no matter what i do i cant seem to calm her down. her father and the rest of my family all say it's because i let her get away with it and that she just being a brat. but i know that it's not that . it hurts to see her like this because i know something is bothering her and she can't tell me. if you have been through something like this do you have any advice . i would really appreciate it.
