Is there any chance I could have very mild autism or is it just my personality?
Hey, I'm 15 and I've been wondering this for quite some time now, basically, these are the things I've noticed that are similar between me and the symptoms of autism 1. I seem to pick up patterns very very easily, and this is easily noticed by people, I'm clever talented in quite a lot of things, especially musically. the last part was just added info and I'm not being big headed by the way 2. I can't make eye contact at all, this might be because I'm a male, I've heard that males have eye contact trouble, but I feel that I'm a lot worse than most people3. I don't show sympathy or any negative feelings at all most of the time, I haven't cried in 5 years, and whenever something happens in a case when most people would start to show sympathy , I generally just become very uncomfortable.4. I'm an introvert, I took a personality test recently and that's how I know, as a child I used to be perfectly happy with my own company and even now I spend most of my time in my head.5. This isn't a similarity, more of the opposite Most of the autistic people I know get very violent... Which I'm not, I'm probably the biggest pacifist you'll ever meet.There's probably a few more but I think I'll just leave it at that, I don't want to bring this up with anyone cause I don't want to stir anything with no evidence.Do you think I should ask someone professional or am I just being stupid? pcheers
20 month old diagnosed with mild autism?
i have a 20 month old son who has recently been diagnosed with mild autistc characteristics. there is definitly some delayed growth in my son but i am still not convinced that it could be autism. his symptoms are conflicting. here i am penning down all the sypmtoms that do and dont suggest autism and would like appreciate peoples opinion.things that suggest autism 1 does not talk. not even one meaning ful word. babbles a lot. mama dada are part of babbling. doesnt understand mom to be mama yet.2 touches eyes like an obsession. when ever either parent comes within touching distance immedeatly starts touching our eye and simultaneouly rolls his tougue in his mouth and sucks on it. kind of like thumbsucking in other children. would not go to sleep unless has access to our eyes.3 responds to name arn 40 % of the time only.4 likes round objects though not obsessed with them. but loves to examine wheels on the toys. 5 eye contact 50 % of the time6 does not point to things he wants but looks at it tries to reach for it himself and if he cant will let it go. 7 many times doesnt respond when being spoken to, even if i sit at his eye level he pretends he cant hear me. 8 occasionally shows aggression if he is being kept off something he likes by banging his head on the wall.9 refuses to take the sipper or glass, still drinks milk from bottle. though water he can drink by straw also. things that dont suggest autism 1 enjoys playing with everyone.2 takes intiative in games like pee ka boo. hides and waits for me to seeksmiles and giggles when ticked.3 undestands few instructions like shut the door, u want water, clap ur hands, stamp feet, roll hands, jump, turn arnd, give me, kick the ball, 4 shows affection by streaching arms to be picked and hugs.5 feeds me when i open my mouth.6 stands on the edge of bed and jumps when his sister counts to three. and laughs.7 when i say 'horsie' immedeatly comes to me and turns me around to climb on my back.8 points to a few body parts like cheek, chin, hair, eyes, nose, teeth, tongue. but will not point to them every time he is asked.some times will just stare at me blankly as though cant understand a word. but has shown them a few times so i know that he knows. 9 loves to watch nursery rhymes cd. gets very excited when sees me going towards the player..and even before i switch it on he takes is place on his fav chair in the room. most of the knowledge that i mentioned in 3 and 8 are due to these rhymes only. he immitates the actions of many of the rhymes. 10 tries to help while dressing him by putting arms and legs in the rigtht places. 11 when ever wakes from a nap comes out of the room and comes straight to me and streches arms to be picked up and clings to me for quite some time.12 shows signs of begining of potty training. htough never indicates on his own if he has to go but can pee when taken to the bathroom. other than these conflicting signs he is a fairly intelligent child. knows his way arnd the house. up to mischeif all the time. he can deduce things quite fast. like he loves going into the bathroom to play with water. we have childproofed the doors so if he sees the locks in place then wont bother with that door but goes to find another one that is unlocked.loves to scribble and when ever finds a pencil does not scribble on the wall but on the table top where he sees his sister sits and writes.he can climb up almost anything in the house table, chairs, beds. the main reason we took him for check up in th first place was his lack of communication. he is not using any words. i know that he knows certain words like he makes the sound bup for bye bye as he has said that a few times and waved also but even that not always.there is not interest to communicate. it seems as though he is satisfied with the way things are and shows no inclination ot go further. if i persist with his and keep asking his to say somehting he gets irritted and wants to run off. the signs of autism usually mentioned like hand flapping, or rocking or arranging things in line are absent. though he does jump on the balls of his feet quite a lot but only when he is super excited abt something like his fav rhyme has come on or we are playing his fav game. so now from this detailed description i would like help from anyone who can abt weather this could be a case of autism or just delayed in speech. i hvae read many moms complainig that their kids didnt speak till 20 22 months and then spoke properly after that. could i be one of these lucky moms.
Could I have mild autism?
I have always had some quirks that have made me wonder if there is something a little wrong upstairs... I'll just name them off and tell me if you think this could be mild autism or something else...1. when I was little I used to have overwhelming urges to do things obsessively, such as shutting doors more than once or stomping on the ground so many times. when I got older I gained better control over these urges so I wouldn't embarrass myself in public, but would still find myself having intensely obsessive thoughts about doing things a certain way and would have nightmares in my teens that things weren't done in this way.2. my mom told me that when I was a baby I didn't like to be held and as a small child I hit a lot and was very stressed out and angry for a toddler who came from a happy home... I wasn't a brat when I got older, but I was a very stressed kid... I'm still unusually stressed and show most symptoms of chronic anxiety.3. although I made a lot of friends in high school I have always felt a little socially awkward... I only made friends in high school for " high school survival" purposes.. I've always wanted to be alone and feel uncomfortable with people... I'm not nervous or unsure, I just have absolutely nothing to say to anyone... I must not have any conversation skills because I really have to try hard to think of anything to say to anyone I socialize with. People have accused me of being closed off, unfriendly, shy, etc, but I really just don't have any comments. I am happiest by myself. my mother also told me that as a small child I would sit and play by myself for hours without noticing anything around me... I was afraid to be alone because I thought something would get me, but she could leave me for hours because I wouldn't notice she left I would be so absorbed in whatever I was doing.4. I've always found my mind wander into space and stay there... once I was in class in high school doing algebra which is a repetitive act, and those are best for me and suddenly a friend jerked my arm... I looked up and the entire class was looking at me shouting my name... appearently the teacher had said something to me and I didn't notice, and eventually the whole class was trying to get my attention and I didn't notice. my boyfriend tells me all the time that when we go into public I will almost be blind to other people and won't notice if someone says something to me, looks at me, anything...I'm going to stop there because I'm hoping someone will actually read this and I know the longer it is the less likely it is that anyone is going to... but I've really wondered not so much because it bothers me, but I have had trouble getting along with a lot of people bc they expect me to stay on earth and be their friend 24 7 and they don't understand that it isn't personal that I can't do that... it's also hard for me to stay on ground long enough to hear anything which includes important lectures after which I'll know the brand of pants the professor was wearing and what kind of shoes, yet I'll know nothing about the lecture. Any serioius ideas are appreciated, and this isn't a joke, so please don't treat it that way.lol, sorry, I know I wrote a hell of a lot... but thanks for the advice
Is PDD-NOS a form of mild autism?
My 6 year old son was just diagnosed with PDD NOS. The problem is he cannot recieve O.T or speech therapy without a diagnosis of Autism. He is self injurous, little eye contact, repitive movements, like children but not play appropriatly with children his age, younger children play better with Jared. Speech and language delayed, insensitive to pain but does not like to be touched. I could go on and on. He sounds autistic to me. Our regional center does not recognized PDD NOS as serious diagnosis, only autistim. So to get Jared help I need him diagnosed as such. Has anyone had this problem? I would love to hear what anyone has to say.
Children with very mild autism?
As in no interest in anything, mother would be the only person child wants to be around doesn't mind most of the time, but does know how to speak to some point ex. at age two, would know around 10 20 words only wants to be indoors.What kind of autism would this be called? Does anyone have a slight idea of what they think might cause this mild autism?
Do I have mild autism?
OK, ever since I was 5, I've had a problem with flapping my hands around. It's gotten a lot better since then, I'm 16 now, and I don't do it in public, I only do it in private. And I have gone a while without doing it, up to a week. Is it autism or is it something I'm gonna outgrow? I barely even do it now, actually, only once or twice a day...I used to also snap my fingers a lot a few years ago, but that has actually stopped completley.
