Anyone knows how to tell if you have Asperger's or schizophrenia? Can you have both at the same time.....? What about dramatic mood swings....? Could it be bipolar? Is that even possible....? Any advice, please.....?
My daughter is 13 now and was diagnosed when she was 4. She has improved a lot and her autistic traces are there, it is part of her. I love her the way she is and hope she will discover meaning through her limitations. Love is the best therapy I know. They do improve. Keep up the good work.
I agree too much negativity.. the mother needs parenting lessons.. its not about her... its about a little human being who happens to be her daughter.. .
It seems that in america they tend to use the word/label autism in cases where one should actually speak of ''autistic behavior'' . Because there is a big difference between these two things and they are very confusing to outsiders who don't know anything about, but also to insiders who waistin much time arguiing about it .

1 in 5 people with autism are women because they have a better immune system then men = meaning many more won't get the harm a vaccination does with boys.
@jpotts44 Sigh, think whatever the fuck you want but I'm getting treatment for it, believe it or not, and I see a lot of improvements in my so called "autistic behavior" and Leaky gut syndrome. It's a Mercury intoxication in the brain, rather you people like it or not, that's what it is in the most cases of autism (not all though) , called Encephalopathy. And the CDC said they would remove Thimerosal in vaccines at 1998, but never actually did this, it was a cover up, look it up.
@JohnnyX1239 - Vaccinations do NOT 'cause autism.' There is plenty of research and reports that have disproved that doctor's report and, it was also discovered that he was being paid off. Go look it up. Autism was around long before vaccinations.
@mslewp I felt the mother was too negative and fantasizing her child to be a mini me of her instead of an individual... Nothing positive in the report.. shame on the parents.. they need to learn to be parents..
@lester90001 I understand your dilemma, but there are very few people specified as "autistic" that are the same. That, I believe, is why it's called a spectrum. Many may never speak, many may not stop speaking, many may know 20 words tops, and many may have a vocabulary far beyond themselves. And well, some are very anti-social and some you'd never be able to tell. It even can be a mix of both, like for me, if a person uses a word I don't like or I see someone from school outside of school, I s
The diagnostic criteria used to identify Autism was DEVELOPED studying ONLY boys. Several decades later, there are (how shocking!) many times more boys diagnosed with it, it is inside and outside the field considered a "boy's" disorder, and meanwhile little girls fall through the cracks.
It is simply irrational and unscientific to presume a neurological difference would produce exactly the same behaviors in both sexes when the sexes ALREADY have numerous brain differences and socializations.
Why I think that girls are shown not to have it as much is that most aren't diagnosed even though they clearly have it. If girls and women were diagnosed at the right age as the boys there will probably be more of us even though there are already! Also the reason in some cases why there aren't that many girls is because we are the stronger than boys are when we are still in our mother's!
No offence but i dont give a shit abot 5 year old kinds AS i want to know about older people you like 18 and actually know what friends and girlfriends are.
bloody media making out theyre doing so much good spreading the word of autism .... well whats the point in spreading the word of autism if youre going to say things which put doubt in viewers minds.... "some people think they dont exist" what the fuck kind of comment is that! immediately plants a seed of doubt in viewers minds before they've watched the short documentary, and in this fast paced world, doubt means instant disregard.....
@SpunkeyMonkey ....... so before the viewer would have watched the documentary, they have already disregarded any meaning to come from it "because it might not exist" ....... and then at the end they put in a comment about "severe" autism, and in today's fast paced world, only "severe" matters, and usually severe things in subjects are a very small percentage, say 10%, so what she said suggests that 90% of autism doesn't really matter all that much and can be disregarded because its not "severe"
@indoril81 My definition of real would be the worst of the cases, the kinds that make it extremely hard for their care taker and provider. some types are more server than others, since talking is a way of communicating you can guess what they are thinking or feeling, even though the words don't always make sense. Therefore not speaking/ communicating at all is harder to deal with making it more "real" in that sense.
The girl is soooo young.... I know it's good to work at young age, but you need to worry less about the results at least for a few years... My son is 7, and it's been less than 3 years that he's doing good, but since then........... oh boy! It's a dream! Not always easy, but the rage, the panic, the sadness is all gone since he communicates... Doesn't mater if it's by pictograms, by gestures (like for deaf people) as long as they can express themselves, and understand you, it'll really change xx
i like it too it's more difficult for us girls either cause our symptoms are worse or cause there are so few of us, it's hard to connect with the boys
I really enjoyed this because for me being a girl with Aspergers it helped me because I found out I had it because I am doing a research paper for English class and it was about autism and Aspergers and I told my parents and they said I had it even though they haven't told me and I was diagnosed at age 4. I am 16 now and also have a severely autistic brother and I feel they don't understand me at all because they have to help my brother.
I love that this reporter proclaimed "This is what it's like to have a child with Autism" while the little girl screamed. How much the mainstream media stereotypes groups they don't understand will never cease to amaze me.
@eljagg01 It's just Autistic kids who have tantrums and are difficult to raise, other kids never embarrass their parents in public. Raising non autistic kids is a piece of cake. Autistic people are basically little children always. Its too bad they were born.
@FredericaBimble I hope it was obvious that I was being sarcastic. People with Aspergers and Autism are not typically social butterflies but not everyone needs to be a social butterfly. A lot of famous artists writers scientists philosophers etc probably were autistic to some degree. They were able to focus on big problems and create beautiful things than last throughout time because they were not so focused on the day to day and not so self conscious.
For some reason, with all brain disorders, females aren't as damaged. I'm not autistic. I've been checked, but schizophrenia and autism affect some similar brain regions.
