  • My son (who has Asperger Syndrome) is terrified by the sounds in public restrooms, too. Up until fairly recently (he's almost seven), he would scream and tantrum when we needed to use one. He generally doesn't scream anymore, but insists that I hold my hands over his ears so that he can use the toilet. He isn't afraid of only the toilet he's using, but that any other one in the room may flush at any moment. And those high-speed hand dryers? Oh my god...nightmare.

  • @puckishsprite I think my younger son might have some form of autism as well because he makes me hold my hands over his ears when we're at the train station and the train comes... How is aspergers diagnosed? My 3 yr old talks and seems normal except he does things like holds over hands over his ears, lines up cars, flaps his arms when excited, etc. Lots of similarities to Tony, except he talks...

  • @enigmum I would go to a def go in to get him checked out for Aspergers. I have worked with autistic children ages 2-5 and does not seem to be any serious form of Autism. Although, the normal social functioning along with the hand flapping MIGHT develop some social development challanges as he gets older. Get him evaluated and nip it in the bud through early childhood intervention programs!

  • @MattRG24 thanks :) He was recently informally assessed and I was told he is pretty normal, that he might just be copying Tony. Will be getting him properly assessed shortly. Thanks for your input :)

  • @multisnootylives1 I agree... There is no threat of an intelligent comment from you. I love my son, if I had to put a bullet to anyone's head, it would be yours. No threat intended...

  • why were you in the bath room with a camera and a little asian boy

  • @multisnootylives1 Are your parents related in some way?

  • @multisnootylives1 You are an ass. Children with Austism can lead a normal life. They just have different ways of dealing with thing. Maybe you should take your own advice, I am sure you have your own issues with dealing with things. What is normal really. It is people like you that makes the world suck.

  • "As well to consult a butcher on value of vegetarianism as a doctor on worth of vaccinations" "At present, intelligent people don't have their children vaccinated, nor does law compel them to. Result is not as Jennerians prophesied, extermination of human race by small pox; on contrary more people now killed by vaxs than small pox" "Every doctor will allow a colleague to decimate a whole country side sooner than violate the bond of professional etiquette by giving them away" George Bernard Shaw

  • @enigmum My son, Michael is ten years old. He talks, he writes (in cursive), he plays with other children, but he has Aspergers Syndrome. You need to have your child seen by a Developmental Pediatrician or neurologist. I strongly suggest reading a book called Ten Things Every Child With Autism Wishes You Knew. It will help!

  • @enigmum - We took Jesse to a developmental pediatrician when he was three and a half. He was very verbal and frighteningly smart (typical in kids with AS, actually), but seemed to have several sensory sensitivities, was obviously delayed in fine and gross motor skills, and did not interact with other children. He's always loved talking to adults, though.

    I would have him evaluated. Worst case scenario is you spend a bunch of money to be told you have a totally typical three year old. :)
