DOCTORS HAVE DETERMIND MY SON IS AUTISTIC BECAUSE HE'S 3YRS. 4M0S. OLD AND DOESN'T SPEAK YET. HE HAS "SOUNDS" BUT NOTHING THAT RESEMBLES WORDS. HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT WE SAY AND KNOWS ABOUT A DOSEN SIGNS. HE DOESN'T PRESENT ANY OTHER SYMPTOMS OF AUTISUM,IN FACT, HE DISPLAYS OPPISITE MANY OF THE STANDARD WARNING SIGNS. SUCH AS HE'S IS VERY LOVING AND ACTIVE. I'M NOT TRYING TO MAINTAIN ANY KIND OF DENIAL BUT AM WONDERING IF THERE MAY BE OTHER REASONS FOR HIS SPEECH DELAY.
?

Have you had his hearing tested? Has he had lots of ear infections that may have contributed to deafness? sometimes there can be fluid on the ears that prevents hearing?
my 4 year old was diagnosed high functionig autism at 3. he was and still is very loving and affectionate with excellent eye contact. however there is no doubt he is autistic as he displays many other traits. children with autism are incredibly diverse and may not display typical symptoms. does your son have frequent tantrums, obsessions, or problems in picking up social cues? there are heaps of sites which will educate you about autism, but do look for a 2nd professional opinion. Explore other possibilities, My son always had excellent receptive hearing, he did understand us, just didn't know the right way to respond. Good luck and kind regards Aussie Lee = |

My , son is 5 yrs old, he to is nonverbal but is just like your son the only reason they seem to think my son is autistic is because he has nonverbal .We live in in stockton ca. and they say in california we have better services here . I have yet to believe this !! My advice to you would be to educate yourself as much as possible on autism , and get second opinions. I Would really like to get intouch with you on a one to one just because are sons are so much alike. Maybe we can help eachother . Here is my email address john3604@sbcglobal.net

I have a beautiful, active and very affecionate son who happens to be autistic. My baby boy is also very smart and understands most of what we say, as well. I hope for your sake that your child only has a speech delay or perhaps he is hearing impaired, but then again AUTISM is not the end of the world. It is a heck of a lot of work though. My little boy has been in Therapy since he was about 18 months old and now he's 6 1/2 years old. Out of my 3 kids he's actually the best well behaved most of the time. (Thanks to lots of ABA and parent education) Good luck and even though it's tough it really is worth it.

Hi DanI have 2 kids with autis, and both are very affectionate and most certainly very active. Does your child play with other children. Does he play appropriately with toys.Does he know to "ask" you for thingswether with words, signs or objects. Autism is usually diagnosed on behavior not language. Good luck. Be sure to have his hearing tested. That he understands what you sy is a good sign. Can he follow instructions or just understand single words. Liz

Hi Dan,
Hang in there. For one thing, did your docs run major testing on your son? My daughter was 1 1/2 yrs when they discovered she had "somthing going on". I'm not the kind of mom to let docs dictate and say this it what we believe your child has. Plus, I knew the signs and at 6mths, Sky was rocking a little intensly than most babies her age. Trust me Dan, I feel your stress. I know being told that your child has autism is like having a mac truck slammed right through you and your still standing is amazing. Reading your message, answers is what your looking for and havent quiet gotten them. My suggestion, read everything - good, bad and the ugly. Articles and books on Autism, ADHD and anything having to do with the brain. I found that while I'm sitting in the docs office sifting through the leaflets there are interesting didbits there too. Next, check out other docs. Second opinions aren't a bad thing to have and do come in handy. There are also specialist such as: Pediatric Neurology - whom I brought Sky too, Hearing, Speach, Occupational Specialist ect.. Here in upstate NY there are places that you can have your child pre-tested - they run a bunch of mini- tests to see if the child meets the criteria for more test taking. See if there is something offered like that in your area. The test consist of 10 sections which they evaluate and they list and show you what your childs' weaks and strengths are. This test gives you a starting place. Listen, always go with your gut instincts , it's always your best. I hope haven't chatted your ear off but I've been exactly HERE, felt everything your feeling now. In other words I wanted to write and give you a "STARTING OFF" point or "PASS GO" so to speak. = |

I have a 3.5 year old daughter who has been diagnosed with Dyspraxia, I would like to chat with anyone who also has a child with dyspraxia. I can not find a web site specifically for this. I am interested to find out how Dyspraxic children are in their later years and any ideas to improve my daughters development.

A lot of children with autism afe affectionate and intelligent. The difference is: is he affectionate only to his parents and unwilling or unable to interact with anyone outside his immediate family? Is he indiscriminately affectionate toward all people? Both of these would be warning signs that your affectionate child might very well be autistic. These are not differences that parents necessarily pick up on, but a trained psychologist, a person who works with children with autism, or a high-functioning autistic adult would. I fit the last two criteria, by the way.
