Autism Awareness: Beyond the Looking Glass

[mkmason2002]

By 22 months a child in the US has had all of their vaccinations. And you say after 22 months he began to regress?

Parents if your first child receives immunizations & then suddenly becomes ill DO NOT ALLOW YOUR FOLLOWING CHILDREN TO RECEIVE VACCINES!

My girlfriend was given childhood vaccines & developed polio.The idiot doctor then gave the same vaccines to her baby brother. His polio is much more severe. Wheelchair for life.

Parents QUESTION EVERYTHING THAT GOES INTO YOUR CHILD.

I admire you as parents so much. My daughter has recently been diagnose with autism and it is so encouraging for me to watch 3 beautiful caring boys like yours! May I ask how old they were when they walked? I see this video was posted in 2007, I hope your boys have been well!

@JJTHI3 My boys were each around 10-11 mos old when they started walking. Thanks for your kind comment, our boys are doing well :). All the best to you and your family!

I salute all the parents of children with special needs. Supportive parents like you inspire special education teachers like me to continue continue teaching children with special needs...

GOD BLESS ALL PARENTS LIKE YOU! Thank you so much for inspiring us.

Hi Just wondering what signs you saw in infancy, I have a few concerns about my 8 month baby girl thanks

[lonestar818]

Hi, it's things we saw in hindsight, didn't realize at the time, but some were sleep issues, overly difficult to console, often extremely upset with no apparent cause & going through the usual list of possibilities didn't help, lack of interest in communicating with us, etc. It's really hard to tell at 8 mos, usually not diagnosed until age 2-3 (although I have heard of some diagnosed around 15-16 mos) but if you have concerns it's worth talking with your pediatrician about. Good luck!
