Can an autism diagnosis for a toddler actually be just a severe language delay. how often is it misdiagnosed?
Daughter now just turned 3, diagnosed at age 2. Seems like her play skills have improved quite a bit in last year. She is starting to talk in 1 or 2 word bits. Don't see much stimming at all. Initially we had some hand flapping at times. Seems to be gone now. We have been following the DAN protocol, she has been undergoing DMSA chelation for the last 6 months. She now plays appropriately with toys. Still have communication issues, though. My wife seems to believe the autism diagnosis was valid and what we have been doing proactively has been working. However, I just wonder if she was severely delayed and not autistic to begin with. I guess I am just hoping maybe they got it wrong last year based on the improvements I have seen in her this year.

Waiting for an autism diagnosis...?
My youngest is now 4, and has 2 older sisters. He seemed to be developing fine until about 2. He now only says 2 3 word sentences on his own, yet he can recite entire movie scenes, TV shows, and songs. His teachers at day care say he almost always prefers to be alone, and his favorite thing is puzzles with numbers on them. He lines up his cars, and only lays on the floor watching the wheels when he plays with them. Even when I ask him his name or how old he is, he gives me a puzzled look, and repeats the last thing I've said. He is very loving, but won't let me rub his back, and giving him a haircut requires 2 other people to hold him down while I try to cut it. For the past year, I have discussed my concerns w his Dr., but he only said he was fine, boys are slower than girls, and not to worry. I finally demanded a referral to a neurologist, but can't get in for 3 months. Does his behaviors sound like symptoms anyone has with deal with?
I'm really losing it over my baby's autism diagnosis, how do I keep it together?
I am a mess. My baby boy who was happy, healthy and meeting all his milestones suddenly came down with autism. He was just diagnosed. He lost his speech, bangs his head and rocks, stares at wheels on cars and will line up shoes all day if you let him. He covers ears and screams at loud noises and I can't get him in the tub cause he freaks out so bad. He does not even respond to his name. I am so angry and filled with grief. The only relief I have is when I sleep. When I first wake up, I think I dreamed it and then I realize that this really is happening. I feel suicdal but I have to live to help him. We are starting therapy for him which will be twice a day. I took him to a birthday party and he did not interact with the kids and wanders off and stares at something odd and tries to lick it. My eating disorder has returned and I am such a mess. Husband in denial about his condition. Can't call mental health as all my time needs to go to help Danny. Any advice?
Question about how to bring up autism diagnosis with dd pediatrician..?
My youngest daughter will be four in a couple months. she has always been delayed in her development aspects which the pediatrician says they all do things at their own pace . I am a bit fed up with this saying. She seems as if she is in her own little world, she has no interest in interacting with other kids her age, she cannot make eye contact with me when I talk with her, she has to be looking at things other than me, she does not recognize shapes and colors, she has no interest in potty training either she can be sitting watching a cartoon and wet herself . These are all signs of autism. I am afraid for her when she starts school this coming fall, because she is so behind. As a concerned parent, how do I bring this up to the pediatrician who keeps telling me, it will all happen when she is ready? I have scheduled an appointment for tomorrow for a runny nose she has had for a while allergies but I want to bring this up to him again. Any help or advice?
Is a autism diagnosis enough for handicap plates in MO?
My son has autism and is a danger in parking lots, as he runs away, falls often, and doesn't listen to direction. These problems are being addressed by therapy but in the mean time I need help. For these reasons I think it would be useful to have handicap plates. This way I can park close to the door which will help with the dangerous problems we face. Do you know if Missouri st louis specifically will allow handicap tags for an autistic child? I know I would need to bring in his diagnosis but I didn't know if it would even be worth the trip to the DMV.thanks
Have you found it difficult to get an autism diagnosis?
A close friend of mine strongly suspects he's autistic and is trying to find professional help to confirm or deny this. Unfortunately, he is finding it IMPOSSIBLE to find anyone willing to help him. The mental health services that he's turning to pretty much refuse to get him the assistance he wants. They' will only provide a therapist who's not licensed to diagnose AS and a psychiatrist who does nothing beyond prescribing meds, something that he finds marginally helpful at best.Have you found the same problem unhelpful mental health professionals ? If not, how were you able to find a professional who was actually able and willing to do a diagnosis?Let me clarify something it's not just he has not gotten specifically an autism diagnosis. The psychiatrists he's seen won't even make ANY diagnosis of ANYTHING. They won't make the effort to do ANYTHING beyond prescribe anti depressants.
A question about autism diagnosis, please respond only if you know what you're talking about?
evidently diagnosis of ASD developmental disorders are only warranted if they cause impairment, but this is meant directly right? i ask cause i'm diagnosed with social anxiety, depression with psychotic features i don't believe i ever was psychotic though, not going to elaborate on that and have significant problems with attention not diagnosed add but am being treated with medication the way i see it the depression seems to have been caused by sa, which was caused by my issues with attention and odd social behavior. as i understand it these sort of issues occur together with autism, but that would be an indirect cause of impairment and thus wouldn't warrant diagnosis right?two things christian minister 1. don't assume you understand my issues. 2. if you're going to lift a quote from some doctor to support your views, run a google search instead of devising your own.scott i'm talking about social anxiety disorder. ok, i should have provided more details as far as my autistic traits lacking in empathy, lack of eye contact, fidgeting, pedantic speech however, the question is not so much about whether i personally have the condition it could be easily answered as if it involved a hypothetical scenario where the person did indeed show autistic traits. but the " sa" thing probably ellicited your response, at any rate please address my actual question, thanks.scott i guess the question is more involved than i thought. based on what you said, particularly the part about not viewing the social anxiety as irrational something that I stubbornly believed in therapy and part of the reason sa behavior therapy was so unsuccessful for me not to mention a lack of recognition for my attention issues it seems that autisms more applicable. i was under the impression that i only showed autistic traits, i.e. that i merely fit into the Autism phenotype profile..... i guess i'll have to mull this over for a bit.
