He rarely makes eye contact. He didn't start talking till he was four, and even now he's very random. He's very smart, but just awkward. He did stack and spin toys as a child, he ate eveything non edible, he use to bang his head against the wall, color coordinate things, had an obsession with counting, he wouldn't sleep, constantly rocked, made funny sounds, walk on his tip toes..... The list goes on. I had no explanation. I honestly started hating my own son. I knew that wasn't natural so I st
No one can say your child doesn't have high-functioning autism because your son isn't like their child. Each child has a unique set of symptoms which is what makes autism spectrum disorders so difficult to diagnose. If autism isn't a perfect fit, look at the symptoms for Aspergers Syndrome, a high-functioning form of Autism that's less well known. Good luck!
(part3) early on then you cannot get sufficient help. So many people dismiss their childs Autistic signs because they don't want to accept it. It's easier to believe others when they tell you your child is just "high energy" but doing so wont allow your child to reach their full potential.
(part 2) He has his security toys that his siblings are in no way allowed to touch. he can't go to bed, dinner or leave the house without them. He likes to get his toys in a pile and rotate his hands through them really fast. He also has speech issues, pronunciation wise. He is extremely smart though and learns new things quickly. My daughter is 2 and son is 3. So many people mistake Aspergers for ADHD, people will even tell you he's fine just "high energy" I hate that. If you don't address it
(part 1) This is definitely my son. One thing I have learned is that you cannot sum up Autism into one lump. 2 of my children are Autistic but their Autism is different from one anothers. My daughter does not speak, rarely makes eye contact and does not respond to her name. She makes sounds all day. Her behavior is very mellow for the most part unless she's frustrated then she will bang her head on the wall and make her "sounds" Our son however cannot sit down for longer than a minute IF that.
My son was diagnosed as high functioning autistic and I go back and forth daily in wondering if he is or isn't. He is almost 4 and has a speech delay in his receptive speech. He is VERY social, loving affectionate, but has some QUIRKS and behaviors that make him "different" from other kids. He is in a special ed preschool program and they don't think he is autistic, but I had him in a mainstream preschool and they said he needed more help than what they could offer. It is frustrating!
He was diagnosed with high functioning autism and ADHD. Three different doctors. I just didn't believe them. The neurologist said the high functioning children have a delay in language and that they function close to normal in society. They would just be the kind of person we'd meet and think to ourselves, "hmmm, he's odd", they put it as socially awkward. As he is getting older I notice it more. It's hard, but at least he's hear. The lower functioning autistic kids don't speak, or sometimes ar
No. My son is high functioning autistic & didnt even say Mommy until he was 7. Is almost 16 now & still only speaks in 5 word sentences. Why do you think your son is autistic??
