My sister is 29 weeks pregnant and she fear that her child will have autism because its a fact that 1 in 166 children do..our family has one cusin with autism and i believe the fathers side dsnt have any...but i want to know how to help her get over her fear..nothing i say seems to help. She writes down signs to look for when her baby is born and she is going crazy because she knows how stressful this wud be on her life. Could someone plz give me someways to help her..
DO NOT CLICK IN THE YELLOW BOX?
Why Not?
I have a 22 month old son that has been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum (PDD-NOS).We have therapy for him 3 times per week and I work with him myself many times per day on signing, playing, everything.But I also have a normally developing 3 year old and want to show her she is just as important, so I cant devote the entire day to him exclusively. He is showing improvements. I feel like he is trying so hard but I never am doing enough. I have tried to get him into special programs but they are too expensive. Whatever his outcome is, he will still mean everything to me. But I want to know I am doing everything I can within my financial means to help him reach his potential. Has anyone had a therapy that they did at home that made a huge difference? Anyone else felt such inadequacy? Any comments/ suggestions would be great.
Is it possible I could have undiagnosed autism?
I know this probably sounds really stupid, but when I was a little kid, I had this habit of counting hash marks in letters and numbers. For example, the number 5. One line across to make the top, one like down to make the middle, and the one at the very bottom to curve. 3 hash marks. The letter E. One hash across, one hash down, another across, another down, another across: 5 hash marks. I would do that when I was riding in the car, passing street signs or gas price signs, and it became a regular thing for me to do. And not just one letter or number, but almost every one if I could remember what the total or word was. Even today, sometimes, I catch myself doing it. Very seldom, however. Could this be autism? OCD? or just...being weird? lol. I know it's probably nothing, but I'm just curious.
These might help

I think I have Autism/Asperger's Syndrome. Although I don't want to go to a doctor to find out but I know I have to. I dont want to talk to my parents or tell them about it though. I tell my friend things that I wont even tell my parents.
How can I find out if I have this condition without going through to see a doctor/telling parents etc.. Im 16 now. I want to go to a doctor but I dont want to go by myself and I have no friends but 1 who already knows, but Im not sure and dont want parents to know yet.
My friend has already told me, she thinks I have slight autism because of the symptoms I show. Im never at home for my parents to know. Im always staying over at my friends house and thats probably why they know more and when I am at home I dont come out my bedroom and dont talk to my parents,
-I can't talk to people that I dont know, I get scared and dont understand.
-Excessive fears.
-Eating Disturbances.
-Have no information while I speak
-Sometimes I dont respond to my name, Iv been told.
-Dont play like other kids my age
-Prefer being alone
-Have no friends. I have like 1 friend (The one thats house im always staying over at) Im close to her mum, shes the one who tells me I could have autism because she knows.
-Obsessed with one particular object or topic
-Have poor judgement
-Run into a busy street without any sign of fear
-Difficult in learning at school. Difficulty concentrating.
Someone please help and tell me. thanks.
