My child may possibly have very mild autism and will be doing a lot of brain work in the next few weeks which include an EEG and MRI. The doctor feels he is at the very mild side of the Austism spectrum if not just a “late bloomer”. Any advice or information would be great if you have experienced this. Thanks!
We have three grandchildren, all born from different siblings, that have been diagnosed with autism. My husband was in VietNam and this seems to be the only thing that is different from my sister and her family and how they have not been affected. I know that they talk about vaccinations having a connection, but could there be a connection with the vaccines that the soldiers received before leaving the country?
My 7 year old has a mild form of autism and as of recently has been exhibiting more tics (in the last 3 months). Is there anything I can do to treat them? He’s currently on Adderall XR and Risperdal…
What would the life expectancy for a very high-functioning autistic be? Does anyone know if autistics, or even those with Down’s Syndrome have the same life expectancy as everyone else, or is it shorter?
I’ve just been reading a lot about it and I’m curious.
Thanks!
This isn’t too specific just trying to get some input.
We live in AAC MD.
He is starting to make choices by pointing and this would benifit him greatly.
Hi, I’m doing a research paper and presentation on autism. I would seriously like to put a 110% on this, so I had an idea to interview someone. Since I don’t know anyone personally who’s autistic, I would like to ask some questions to someone who’s autistic or a parent who have an autistic child.To answer my questions more privately, my email address is nessa048@hotmail.com
For the person who have autism:
*How old are you?
*When did you get diagnosed with autism?
*How severe is your autism?
*Was it hard at school and was you comfortable at the school you went to?
*What have your family did to help you through the yrs?
*Is it difficult to do daily activities?
Any stories or comments you would like to share?
For the parents:
*How did knowing that your child have autism affected your life?
*Did you look at your child a different way or thought he/she need special needs?
*How old is you autistic child?
*When did your child get diagnosed with autism?
i’m concerned that giving shots to my baby may ultimately lead to some form of autism and allergies as some have claimed… is 4 shots at once too much for a 14-lb baby?
I was just wondering if anyone else out there is considering possibly stopping or delaying vaccinations due to the possibility of a link with autism. I seem to be hearing every day about the rise in autism, and I am concerned about continuing to vaccinate my 10 month old. I wanted to see what other parents think about this subject.
