Ive been on here before asking questions about autism because Im still currently waiting on his appointment to get his 3 hr evaluation for autism. And I guess Im on here just to get some clue as what to think it doesn’t bother me if he has autism or not its the waiting and the not knowing. He is also about to start speech therapy because he is delayed a little he is 21 months old only two word sentences he says is go away, and no way so far. He use to say oh man but hasnt in a few months. It started because I told his Dr that he spins and he really only does it when the TV is on and he spins and says "wee!" while spinning I can tell him to stop and he just laughs but if I grab him and say stop sometimes he will cause he gets really dizzy and falls. He doesnt get upset if I stop him he just plays with other stuff or watches TV. I know he can give eye contact according to his speech therapist but she said it seems forced but that was on there first meeting. He imitates very well knows some of his numbers and ABC’s , loves books with numbers and ABCs and pictures. He can pretend play well and he plays with his 7 month old cousin by giving him toys. I did ask him the other week "do you want something to drink?" and he said " milk" that was a first and since last time he did that. He has always had constipation problems which I read a lot of autistic children have gastrointesinal problems. He is going to see a Dr about that soon his therapist is suppose to give me his number. and i didnt think he was sensitive to loud noises but sometimes he puts his hand on one ear or put his finger in one ear I thought maybe his ears were bothering him but now im not sure. Im so lost at this point. any one who has experience or has autistic children know anything about this. I read articles and one says one thing another says another thing. so any help would be great.




im sorry for the condition of your son.
My son was the same, and they said the same things about him, he also had a speech therapist, occupational therapist, and a physical therapist. Turns out my sons problem was that his ears were filled with fluid that affected his hearing and obviously speech, and also affected his equilibrium. I know how much it sucks not to know what is going on and honestly everyone will tell you something different.
I hope that you get your answer soon and that it is a simple to resolve as ours was.
more like you have a fucking essay on autism
He sounds normal to me but then again I am not a doctor. Maybe if he is it is not that bad. I hope everything goes well. I know you’ll love him no matter what. Good Luck!
"Kyle Treehouse" is for parents who want to talk to other parents about all the different options there are available for their child with autism.
My friend’s son has autism and uses The Sonrise Program. It is fantastic. He has made huge leaps in his social skills, toileting, any hitting out, everything. There are great video testimonials online which might give you an idea if this program is for you.

She also put him on a gluten free diet for two weeks and his headbanging stopped completeley and emotional outbursts decreased. There is a theory that children with autism have ‘leaky gut’ syndrome and that the gluten passes through their gut and goes straight to their brain, acting as a drug and affecting
their behaviour. I would highly recommend you buy a book on gluten-free eating.
There is a book called "What you can do right now to help your child with autism" by Joanthan Levy – this is a great book.
Best wishes.
