Okay my son just turned two he is also profoundly deaf and has a cochlear implant in one of his ears...my doctor said one of my sons speech therapist thought he may have autism? What should I look for in my son to tell if he has autism its So hard to know because he has only had his implant in for about 8 months and cant talk. I've been internet surfing signs of an autistic child and am just having a hard time seeing what thetherapistt is..one thing he also does that was similar to a child in a video I seen was he rotates his hands and feet and will roll his eyes around...he has done this since he was little but mostly when he is in his car seat bored and we are driving or when he is bored on the couch or in bed trying to sleep? He can't get into beactuallyydiagnosedt till September...anysuggestionss or comments are great.

I am just curious...
There's a kid in my grade and a few of my classes (he's kind of like a friend), and he's in the marching band with me (so we always see each other). It's our Junior Year and I've noticed that he's actually acting like a teenager. And I don't mean to sound rude, but in years before he was shy and really kept to himself. But now, he actually gets involved in gossip, talks about teen stuff, and sometimes curses. So I'm just wondering if that's normal, or if it's possible to just overcome it? Not get rid of it, because the signs are still there, but to yeah... overcome it?
We have a few kids in my school who have Autism and all of them don't seem to talk much. Thanks!

Canadian Child Psychiatry Review (Feb 1998)"Bryna Siegel has succeeded admirably in the difficult task of writing a book for parents of children with autistic conditions. Her style is clear and easy to understand even when she discusses complicated issues. She has empathy for the emotional and practical stresses and strains that are an inevitable part of caring for an autistic child. She discusses treatments and outcomes with clear-sighted honesty. This is a book that parents and professionals in the field will find inval (more...)

Is there anywhere online to find a description of the autism spectrum complete with common characteristics of each 'stop' on the spectrum?
