Can a child, almost 3, suddenly start showing signs of autism?
My son is going to be 3 in June. He has recently started showing signs os autism, spinning and running in circles,running back and forth,if you interrupt him he gets very upset,he will cry or be aggressive,he head butted me in the face yesterday when i did so. He hardly ever answers to his name,has a vacant look,or sometimes looks sad at times and constantly has staring episodes. He also is not speaking as much as he previously was and sometimes will only point and makes noises when gesturing to something he wants. Also he has started throwing things out of nowhere,at anything and anyone. But he still has social skills,he will play with his cousins and likes to be around people. My nephew is autistic,and considered severe,he was diagnosed at 2,but we noticed when he was a little over a year. Could my son be mildly autistic? And to those who are going to criticize that I am on here asking this question.....Yes I have already been to our pediatrician,and yes have told them I want him evaluated and yes I have scheduleded an appt. with a developmental and behavioral doctor. I am just curious to other peolpe's opinions who may have more knowledge about this disorder or other possible reasons for his behavior.
Are these early signs of autism?
My 13 month old son is showing some of the familiar signs of autism, but only a couple. I can't really tell if he is independent, not getting enough social practice or developing signs of autism.He doesn't hold eye contact long and often doesn't want to have anything to do with his parents, but when out in the world, he seems interested in the other people.He plays fine with his toys and doesn't seem to favor anything specifically.He doesn't make gestures, but then again, we haven't really used gestures around him so I don't think hes learned. He doesn't make any signs as to what he wants though when he does want things.He has been smiling and babbling since a a young age and his motor skills are up to par. He's been walking on his own for a few months now.He also doesn't really like to cuddle, but it's almost as if he has some place else to be or explore. He often throws tantrums and throws himself on the floor repeatably. Every now and then he will do a call and response kind of thing where we mimic his words but to be honest, we haven't done that very often with him not nearly as much as we shouldThe most worrisome thing to me is that he rarely responds to his name but I have a suspicion he just doesn't care. Is that a possibility?We've already made a doctors appointment, but I'm just looking for some parents views on this to get myself better prepared. Thanks
18 month old signs of autism? ?
My son is 18 months old and whenever he is in a sitting position he rocks back and forth and makes a humming sound. He's been doing this pretty much since he could sit up. He's very aware of his surroundings, he responds to his name, makes eye contact, points, waves bye bye. He does use a few words, maybe 5 or 6. The thing that worries me a little is he does have some strange habits besides the rocking, If he's sitting on the couch rocking, you have to be a certain distance from him. He doesn't like anything or anyone to touch him. If his socks aren't both on the same way he gets upset until I fix them. If his blanket isn't perfectly placed over him he gets upset. Just some strange obsessive things he does. He's started breaking out in random screaming tantrums. but that could be normal I guess he repeats himself again, could be normal since he's learning to talk he plays with his hair. Does it sound like he may have autism? Or be on the autism spectrum. Not to be rude but Please don't google information for me. Ive already done that and I'd like to hear from people who have experience with autistic children. He has a doctor appointment this month so I will bring my concern up with his doctor. Just wanted some advice in the mean time.Thanks for your help

So my baby is 6 months old and i recently read an article about early signs of autism that concerned me. Some of the early signs include not making eye contact not smiling when smiled at not having a conversation i coo then he coos back and autisitc babies focus soley on one object instead of a variety of objects. and not responding to peek a boo gamesmy baby makes eye contact, smiles all the time, loves peek aboo but he doesn't have a " conversation" with me and sometimes he fixates on one toy imparticular. is it possible he could have autism?
Could my 12 month old be showing signs of autism?
My son just turned 1. His behavior is starting to change. Is this normal or could he be showing signs of autism spectrum this early? He wonders around aimlessly carries a toy around without actually playing with it for long periods of time recently started biting, hitting, and pinching especially slapping his own ears and stomach sleeps very very little and is overactive doesnt want to be held and cries arches back to get away sqeals for long periods of time constantly wants to be spun in a chair and gets very angry when the spinning stops actually how we get him to sleep he spits out every bite we give him and picks it up to feed himself only plays very rough wants to be thrown or punce on me and he seems to start just dancing for no reason all the time. at first I thought it was cute, now it kinda worries me DOES make eye contact but just a blank stare seems to be day dreaming staring off alot is so destructive stomps on toys and tares them apart digs things out or pulls things out of cabinets then just leaves them cant stand complete quietness doesnt stop once he gerts hurt continues to try to touch the heater right after he just got burned I have been observing him for a while, Im starting to worry. Its not behaviors that he could have learned form us. He hasnt been around that kind of behavior. Does this seem normal or could it be something more severe?
Am I exhibiting a sign or signs of autism?
I'm 19 years old going 20 in July and I'm realizing I don't have many friends. Now, I don't see myself as extremely awkward, however I seem to be overly intelligent compared to the average person. Not to say that's a bad thing because that's the nature of things sometimes.I tend to avoid people, I enjoy being alone and I should probably add that I've always had some difficulty looking at people when I talk.Today I had some music playing youtube.com watch?v tP 9UOvWaao some good song I like , and something happened I was spinning around. It's not the first time I've done that, although I paid more attention this round because I've read about autism and it's symptoms that of which can result from compulsive behaviour. In the past when I was a kid I've had times where I would turn over my bike and spin the tire, and repeatedly play in the playground and sat in class in a specific way everyday until grade 6. Today I spin the occasional coin, but that's as far as it goes.I've come along way in improving my focus though, such as not spending too much time completely distracted on something like TV, playing the same levels in the Halo series or not looking at the ground when I walk around which I did until I was 16.Overall I'm coming to the conclusion that most people are programmed with a same type of personality. That such as when I pass a person walking somewhere, almost all of them look forward and then to the ground and forward again in that sequence. actually these patterns are all over the place, right down to the way they sit or sleep.I feel very different from the common person and there may be other signs I don't even notice. Just me asking this question maybe out of place in itself, so maybe you can clarify what a non autistic person is like.

Are these signs of Autism?
My baby is 18 months old he was approved for OT and speech therapy because he is 6 months delayed my son does not speak at all well except for mama and dada although he does not know the meaning behind it he says it more out of habit he does not know how to play with toys the way they should be he would rather bang on it or spin the wheels over and over no matter how many times I try to show him he just seems so uninterested he doesn't hug kiss point or wave bye bye or follow any direction he does not emulate either he does not ask for anything with gestures he does not stay still he runs back and forth in my hallway banging into the walls and doors he would rather slam doors and cabinets then play with actual toys I can carry him for a little while but the he pushes me away because he would rather be on the floor doing his own thing he's a bit of a daredevil anything that consist of us pretending to drop him he loves I had to shut off my radiator because he insist on touching it regardless how many times he gets burned he whines a bit but then hes back at it he does make eye contact with us here and there but if we stand in front of him hes moving his head to look past us he pretends he doesn't hear us I can call him 30 times in a row and it's only when he wants to look up he will he shakes his face hands and feet while stiffening his legs when excited he always has to put his bottle in the same spot when done he doesn't pay other kids attn he would rather play aloneFirst I would like to say thank you for all of your answers I really appreciate it Any info is helpful.. I play with my son all the time and I try my best to teach him with little response from him and little help. I know I shouldn't and I try not to compare him to my 7yr old son but there is somethings I can't help but think about all the things he did as a toddler.. I'm very affectionate with my kids lots of hugs kisses and I love yous going around so its lil hard when my lil one does not show the same emotion.. As far as waiting it out I've waited waited and waited the docs would say just wait he's still a little young he's probably just lazy but here we are months later and no change no progress of course the guilt comes in because I do have to work full time being that I am the bread winner at home.. I've already requested a screening for him because if Autism is the case then I believe he should have the best care and resourcesI'm afraid to leave him with people they might lose patience with him I'm his mom and even I get frustrated and I know my baby and I understand all his cries so its important that he's surrounded around people who understands his needs and also I can join a local support group that last year and half has been physically and emotionally draining will all the tantrums banging his head every where all the crying the lack of sleep he does not sleep straight through out the night and it seems that no one I know can relate to any thing I'm going through all of their children are just reaching milestones after milestones with no problem now either way I will love my child just the same I will work just as hard to teach him nothing can change my outlook he's very precious to me
Signs of autism in an 11 month old?
My daughter is 11 months old and i've been worried about my daughter having autism for months.. it's depressing me to think she might have it, don't get me wrong, i love my daughter more than life itself but i often wonder if i'll cope? It was my health visitor that started it off a few months ago by saying she was not passing milestones other babies were, i know babies develop at their own pace but i am now at the point where i am almost 100 % certain she has it and my partners younger sister has it aswell so i was wondering if it was actually a genetic thing aswell? I hope i'm just being paranoid But here's the story..As a newborn, she was good.. really good, everyone used to comment on it, she hardly ever cried for a bottle or a nappy change, i was constantly waking her up for feeds and bum changes, when i feed her food, she swallows lumps whole and often when changing her, i've found whole foods that have passed through not sure if its normal or not she won't even attempt to chew it like sometimes she will spit every mouthful out and enough times i have gave up with food and left her to it and she is never affected by it like she doesn't care she isn't being fed. She's only just learnt to crawl and stand holding onto things. She doesn't know how to point, no reaching out to be picked up, she can't wave, she can shake her head 'no' but not yes, she also doesn't mimick me when i try to play games with her e.g. peek a boo, pat a cake.. she can clap but she doesn't clap along with the game if you get me? She doesn't copy sounds i make, she can say mam, dada and can babble but if i babble with her, she looks at me like she doesn't know what i'm doing and stops.. She doesn't like giving eye contact with anyone, If i try to give her a cuddle or kiss, she pushes me away which hurts inside alot she pushes most people away. She has a really high pitched squeal which she does if you tell her no and when her baby brother cries, she cries with him but squeals and shrieks alot of people have said it's a spoilt baby cry what she does but i have never ever gave into my daughter e.g. if she cries because i put her for a nap, i wont rush back in and pick her up, i've always tried to give her some independacy because i never wanted a clingy baby but now i would love her to be one .. She won't go to anyone like if they call her name and say 'come on' she will just look at them and look away.. She smiles alot but doesn't laugh unless she's tickled, sometimes i feel like it's a forced laugh.. She responds her to name most of the time but sometimes it's like she's completely deaf, alot of people have commented on how ignorant she can be, she never demands attention, you never know when she needs a nappy change because she doesn't let you know, or food or drink.. Please can someone give me some advice.. should i go to the doctor? or am i just being daft.. Has anyone else got an autistis child and recognises any of these signs, i don't want any cocky comments off anyone please.
Could my 8 month old be showing signs of Autism or another disorder?
My daughter just turned 8 months old since day 1 we have had feeding issues, where she never wanted to drink her bottles, but loves baby food. I began to worry at 5 months old when she started holding her arms like she is about to fly ALL the time, and flaps them around every couple minutes. Her new thing, is she began to randomly shake her head. She does this only a few times a day, mostly while playing or eating her food. Her doctor is not concerned because she is meeting all other milestones, but I just can't stop thinking about it. She smiles, laughs and makes eye contact when she wants too . She does not like to snuggle, but I think that could be just her...any advise??

What are the signs of Autism?
Ive been seeing a counseller for 6 months for social anxiety and depression and she said i could possily have autism, but didnt really explain what autism wasI dont appear or behave in a way an autistic person does, i appear quite normal but maybe my brain works in the same way as an autistic person? i know my perception isnt great, i missread situations i always think everything that happens is targeted at me and me only, and it winds me up inside but i never show anger when im around people, i can only let it out when im on my own and this is one reason im not very sociable as anger just builds up inside and it can be frustrating when i cant let it outcan someone shed some light on how an autistic persons mind works and maybe give some examples ?
What are the signs of Autism in a teenager?
I seriously think I have Autism at times. I don't know why,but I seem " different" from everyone else at my high school and I constantly have a feeling like people are staring at me because something is highly wrong with me and I'm " off" in a way.I'm really shy and I don't really talk much. very quiet I'm afraid to ask questions in class because I don't want people to think I'm stupid.I don't have that many friends,never had. For a couple of years in elementary school I had no friends at all and mainly spent recess alone.I pluck my hair when I'm bored. i know it's a really bad and weird habit,but I can't stop. I do it without thinking.I have really good grades except for Algebra II and Journalism Mainly because I'm too afraid to talk to people .I'm really clumsy and awkward.I don't make eye contact because I get tired of people staring at me when I make eye contact iwth time.I'm 17 and never had a relationship.My guidence counsoler told my parents I have " social issues" my freshman year. A few weeks later she tried to talk to me and she was talking all slowly like I couldn't understand her and I bsaid. " Not to be rude,but can you stop addressing me so slowly as If I'm stupid?" She never talked to me again and called my parents to tell me I'm antisocial.Do I sound autistic to you?
