My nephew is 2 months old and he doesnt like to be held, he wont look at anyone, he only stretches he head backwards to look at a light or something else and he never seems happy… im worried that he might have something wrong with him like autism… does anyone have an autistic child and know how early you could see signs of autim? Thanks so much for any help!
i work at a daycare, and we think that a 2 year old boy who we take care of may have autism. he barely talks at all, and he spends most of his time laying on the ground playing by himself rather than interacting with the other children. i would like to know if these are signs of autism, and what the other common symptoms are.
She doesn’t like to look at the person holding her. She can and does make eye contact and smiles at people she recognizes, but when some one who is holding her trys to talk to her, she turns her head.
I feel my youngest is mildly autistic. He has routines that he gets very upset if they are changed or interupted. He also learns very differently than other kids, as well as having the mentality of someone 1 – 2 years younger than he.
My two year old is getting evaluated for autism and I want to know what to expect. He is already in speech therapy. His speech therapist said she sees no signs of autism but I still want him tested no matter what anyone says.
What I mean by “no matter what’ is everyone one I know including his speech therapist says “no way” he has autism. He had no symptoms that I read about but I just want “piece of mind”
Okay I was watching “scrubs” and there was this kid who was playing w/ blocks. Then that mean charactered doctor said that he had signs of autism because the blocks he was playing with had perfect semmetry and matching colors. What was up with that? How does that sign detect autism, just curious.
My son is 14 months old and when he gets mad he will hit. We have tried everything from time out to telling him no but he will just laugh and hit again. Anyways someone i work with today has a son who is three and was just diagnosed with autism she told me that he always hits and does not listen and that my son probably has it as well. What are real signs of autism?
I really don’t think he has autism for he talks, makes eye contact and loves to give kisses and hugs.
I know that most children do not start showing symtoms until 3+ years. But my question is, Does anyone have children with autism, who began showing symtoms as early as two months? My 9 week old son still is not focusing in on people, and everyone comments on it. It is starting to worry me. He gets fixated on the ceiling and bright lights. He smiles, but only to voices, never to faces.
I have a 8 month old boy and am constantly worried about autism. I know that it’s difficult to tell at this age, but I’m just curious if anyone else is fearful as well? Does anyone else think they see subtle signs of autism in their baby, but are probably just being irrational like me?
I would like to know the signs of autism, I have my doubts about a friends child , who ask as if he does not care about stuff, does bad in school, thinks he can control everybody, does’nt listen, disrespectful, uncaring, I just want to know do you think this is Autism or something else. He does not care about school, his work , he is failing, do you think this is something emotional . from his childhood , he shows no concern. I need your help
