I have been reading up on autism and Asperger’s Syndrome a lot lately because we have some concerns about our four year old son. He fits the characteristics of Asperger’s Syndrome except for one thing, children with Asperger’s are typically known to be very anti-social. Our son is the most social child we have ever seen. In fact we get comments all the time on how out-going and social he is.

So my question is, can a child have an autism spectrum disorder and still be social?

Angina Information

My baby is 6 weeks old and scheduled for her first vaccinations in two weeks. I’ve read a lot about the link between vaccines and autism lately, and was looking for some more opinions. Does anyone know of the most recent data, have a personal experience, or just an opinion? thanks!

Anxiety Help

I am just interested in how they would be different. I know it varies from child to child but I would just like to know how they might differ. I may be nanny-ing for a 4 year old boy with autism and would like to know how he may be different from a 4 year old without autism. Any help you can give me would be appreciated before I actually meet this boy.

Help with Angina

I’m doing some medical research on autism in babies and children up to 2/3years, and i wondered what kind of doctor would specialize in diagnosing this in children, and what kind of tests they would generally run. I initially thought neurologists, but I’m still not really sure.

Is it also possible that there could be a physical cause for autism, such as something to do with the brain or anything like that?

Thanks!

Angina and Diet

Would to like to hear oppinions on why some people believe Austim is related to routine childhood vaccinations. I have identical twin boys who have had the same vaccines in the same enviroment, and have ate the same foods (bc I have heard also there is a theory about chemicals used to preserve food contributing to Autism). The first born twin has high-fuctioning Asperger’s Syndrome, and the second born does not have any form of Autism. Based on this experience I don’t believe Vaccines had anything to do with this. If I had to venture a guess for the cause I would say that it may be an area of his brain did not develop correctly. Anyway, would love to hear oppinions on this subject, what you believe might be a cause of Autism, or other reasons why you may choose to not vaccinate your child. Thanks.
Would like to add that they were tested, and confirmed as being identical. Also that they were born at 29wks premature, and were on the same devolpment level at birth, and through their stay at the NICU.
