I don't believe they know all the reasons that might cause autism

[PeNkNiFeLoVeLiVe]

does your son have vestibular disturbances now and again? that may explain the spinning and rolling around now and again, from what i've read up on anyway. :o he's cute!

[racham1]

yes he does. He has huge proprioception issues...but they have improved with time and occupational therapy

my son's name is noah too. he wasoriginally diagnosed with NLD, but he was recently referred to the center for autistic spectrum disorders at children's hospital in dc, because they think he may have aspergers. what type of doctors was he seen by? my son has been seen by a psychologist and neuro-developmental pediatrician chief of childrens. he's on the waiting list for occupational therapy and will be seen by the neuropsychologist at childrens for the testing.

Noah was evaluated somewhat by his pediatrician. Then he underwent formal evaluation at the Children's Hospital in Denver, CO. in the Child Development Clinic. He saw the top doctor there and a couple of others. They used a combination of the material I had collected over the years along with sound clips and video clips and specific things from Noah's teachers and myself over time.....along with their own specific assessments and tests to determine his diagnoses.

I think it is genetic. Here are my reasons: 1. My grandma has it, my dad and his brother have it, I have it. 2. There are a lot of cases with brothers. 3. Explains why it affects boys more than girls. 4. I have also noticed that parents act just like the kids like my dad. THIS IS MY OPINION I work with kids, these are things I noticed a lot.

That is not the cause, for a lot of parents of these kids don't drink or smoke. My mom didn't and I still got it. The two possible not for sure causes are either vaccine or genetics.

No, its not true. Look up Boyd Haley on youtube, he will tell you why your child has Autism.

My Autie's mum didn't do either while pregnant - but I have noticed that all the Aspies I've come across had oxygen deprivation at birth, even if their birth only involved a forceps delivery.
