Early sign of autism- hand flapping and teeth grinding

Here is Jade at 24 months. She would flap just one hand, often absentmindedly. She also used to grind her teeth for hours. Notice the facial tic as she walks away.

2 cups of epsom salt in Jade's bath has eliminated all of the above.

I have to say, I don't see any signs of autistic behaviours here at all. No SIB, no lack of EC, seems aware and willing to communicate.

Have you been to see the CBTs or the consultants with her yet and gotten a diagnosis?

@themikeashfield this was 6 years ago, and yes, she is plenty autistic, with many dx to prove it. You people make me lolz.

just play and engage in whatever daily activity may come with your children just as if they were your friends and things will always turn out ok. by the looks of it the only problem that autistic kids have is the parents not being able or willing enough to properly show them 'around'. they come to a point where they feel so accurately that the ones that are near them have some sort of disability in putting things in perspective from a certain level further, and they also feel the causes so badly

@pawppy where did you go to school to develop this harebrained theory?

I am a total stranger with no more information than this video to go on and no experience with autism whatsoever. However, what i advise you, who has tons more information and have spent hours on end figuring out what the best thing to do is, to do is to x and y, because -clearly- that is the obvious answer to all your problems. Also, the video is an illusion, because -clearly- I cannot trust this source of information, and therefore you too should not.

unless you have an autistic kid, you wouldn't know what it is. i dont, but my childhood friend did. i say did, because he died in a horrific fire. RIP Rudy.. but she did everything she could for him. he was smart. knew how to spell big words, and read at an early age. he was just in his own little world. ignorant ppl would say THEY could "fix" he. "all he needs is this and that" but they ended up biting their tongues. IF YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT IT, "LEARN" IT

I think its so gunny how you're like "I LOVE YOU!!!!" And she's just like ignoring you walking away... Haha sorry I found that funny. Lovely daughter though, She looks like a doll.

When did flapping become a symptom? every baby and toddler I know flap!

[themystiquechiq]

@marktsheppard You must have gained all of your insightful knowledge on autism from the film "Rain Man". Constant and hand flapping are obvious signs of autism. But I'm sorry, you must be much smarter than thousands of specialists...

Why are you even watching this movie?

[m0dernangel]

ohhh nooooez! commenter missed the "L" key when they OBVIOUSLY meant "flapping"... let us nao bludgeon them, it is us vs. world Jade!

[marktsheppard]

WTF? ...I did the same... how is this Autism... see... this is why every child psychologist should be arrested...

[pawppy]

@triciac84 i wanted to share what i thought would perhaps help people that spend a great deal of their time with such children, such as you... and would really strive to understand. I just thought it was way too selfish and also kind of ridiculous to diagnose autism based on such symptoms as restlessness which should just be there all the time in all kids. and then make such an easy call upon disease when one of these gifted children would have troubles relating to nonsensic relationships
