    Signs in young girls can be a lot different since they tend to mask better and the symptoms represent differently. I recommend looking up autism symptoms in girls too!

      Someone I know, almost an adult now, has level 3 autism. At 2 years old she was completely fine & talked, knew some people’s (2ppl) phone number, her full name, alphabet & numbers. She was on track or typical. She got a vaccine at 2 1/2 & quickly developed 105.6 fever, her eyes were glossed over. I’d wave my hand in front of her she wouldn’t blink or look. I could jump towards her & she wouldn’t move nor startle… no reaction. She couldn’t see us. She began laughing at loud dark barks & when anyone raised their voice.
      Doctor said that high of fever & the no talking was “normal” but she never did return to being typical.
      My best guess is she was bound to get it at some point, or likely to, and she got a virus at the same time as a vaccine which triggered it (it’s regressive autism). Either that or it was a coincidence.
      When I see people online who have autism that can talk fluently, often very good at articulating thoughts actually, and totally comprehend they have autism… I was shocked. I had no idea some people with autism could speak & take care of themselves without around the clock monitoring & help. I first saw that around 15 years ago.
      In that case, if they person’s not suffering, I agree with many of them that autism isn’t something to fear nor is it “bad” (people used to be terrified of it).
      Level 3 autism is objectively very difficult for the person who has it. For them, I wish there becomes a cure. I had a dream I couldn’t talk & she was talking to me fluently. It felt so strange I would think something but it’d come out all wrong. She nodded and smiled & went on to tell me things I’d wondered Often wonder if there was truth to that dream.

      @@Affaneesa Yes many do, there are many children who develop typically in many ways but non typically in other ways. Autism is a spectrum and children effected can have abilities and challenges all along a spectrum from challenged to excelling in abilities, it’s different for every child. Many children can present as totally typical but have challenges in just a few areas. In my opinion, it’s usually social interactions with family and other children which would show you the most differences & challenges. It doesn’t hurt to have your child assured if you have concerns, the earlier they get help the better

    It’s also important to note that many common autism signs and stimming behaviors occur in neurotypical children as well. Even ones commonly associating autism, such as hand-flapping.
    But if anyone notices something or has any concerns at all about your child, you should have them evaluated. It’s free in the US, and early intervention is VERY important.
    As a parent, if you have a gut feeling, don’t ignore it no matter how many friends and family reassure you there’s nothing wrong.

      I think what's most important is to notice the signs, and get them tested at around 5, the signs earlier aren't conclusive so a test before 4 won't mean that much.
      And a test for autism actually isn't that important, it doesn't make a difference whether a kid is diagnosed as the parent should be doing what's in the kids best interests anyway, a diagnosis could help with delayed speech but a diagnosis before 4 is nowhere near as conclusive as one when they're older.

    That was my middle son. SERIOUSLY hyper, and wouldnt answer me. I mentioned to the doctor, and he thought it might be a hearing problem, and put tubes in my sons ears. Did not help. What helped, was finding jobs for him. Keeping him busy. Hes super sensitive, and very compassionate. He defends others, and once I took him to a dog shelter, and he burst out crying. "Mama, why do they have to be in jail?" Broke my heart 😢. Once, he asked me, "Mama, whats wrong with me?" I said, youre a great boy. You just think your own way.

      So what’s wrong with learning how to adjust his surroundings? No hate but I think a lot of you parents are carrying this autism disorder too far. I have s niece who actually “ taught” her child to stim, and he does it 20 hrs s day, his siblings are ignored because his mom is constantly telling everyone who will listen about her kid with autism. The strange thing is? When he’s with his grandparents he’s s completely different child, doesn’t stim, doesn’t demand things, scream or throw sh*t either. If a meal comes out that isn’t the way he wants ( because the minute it’s put in front of him he looks to see if “mom” is going to make a big deal etc. MO when he’s with GMA he apparently KNOWS he can’t get away with that sh*t. Sorry but I think a lot of you are doing a huge disservice to your children. They can ( despite what u think) be made to mind. I can’t imagine the hell these poor kids will go thru when Mom/Dad aren’t around to coddle them. It’s going to have serious repercussions for sure. Despite what you parents believe these kids need to learn positive skills they don’t need to learn that they’re “ special” & should be catered to.
      Not interested if you don’t like my opinion.

      I know that the American healthcare system is far from perfect, but I think it's crazy how y'all's waiting lists work.
      I briefly worked for a northern Ireland health system as an American. A woman explained that you get a letter that you've been put on a waiting list just to make an appointment. That's so insane, I can just call any doctor and see them within a few weeks and pay 25 bucks.
      That's one reason I don't trust government funded healthcare. I look at how the VA is run and it's awful. I can't imagine that on an even larger scale.

Not a good example of a co-op type health system where everyone pays into one fund based on their income and the government only regulates and protects that fund. The amount the va gets depends on who is in charge. But atleast the VA can not deny you care, whereas individualistoc health care systems/capitalistic hospitals can deny you care whenever they want.

      ​​@@bippitybopitybooty1127 in Australia our GP visits are free, covered by Medicare. Specialists appointments (yes, this includes paediatricians, since here it's considered a specialist, not a gp for children, although sometimes you get lucky and find one that has also done paediatrics but is practising as a GP and will see your child) we have to pay out of our asses for (in most case about $300 a visit) but we get about half of it back from Medicare. Also, no waiting lists, you'll be seeing your specialist (except mental health because as every country it's severely underfunded) within the week, and will have results within a week after that (usually only a couple days)..

    This is similar to my own son (he’s 7, has autism, and ADHD - just like his Mama) - typical development until about 18 months, and then yeah, stopped responding to his name, became obsessed with numbers and letters, meltdowns were epic, and though he’d been starting to be verbal, he became less verbal. He learned to talk (rather than just mimic), read, and write, all kind of at the same time, when he was about 2.5. When I noticed him stimming, I encouraged him, showing him my happy flapping (I never want him to think he’s alone in this family, with regards to neurodivergence - and so there’ll be the two of us watching TH-cam, him bouncing away on his trampoline, me standing on my tip toes and kicking my legs out backwards or attempting to plank across the couch) and we bought a mystery box of fidget toys (both because they’re fun, and to redirect painful stimming).

    I saw signs of autistic behaviors in my son almost immediately after he was born. As someone who grew up surrounded by little siblings, babysat all my life, worked in a daycare through college and became a teacher, I HAD SOME EXPERIENCE. But I was disgusted and shocked to be waved away by every provider at our pediatric office. Every visit was rushed and I was told I was overreacting as a first time mom. I had to become my son’s advocate, cheerleader, therapist, teacher, etc until he was finally diagnosed at 2. He’s 2.5 and thriving, the sweetest, smartest, and most driven little toddler. We work hard to find the ways that work for him, to navigate the world as he feels is right. It’s been exhausting, heart wrenching, and challenging. But also so rewarding, fulfilling and awe-inspiring.

    I got diagnosed at the age of 11 due to wating lists and being able to walk and talk. But i was constantly covering my ears and was never able to separate from my Mum. I am so glad you have catered for your kids needs, and I am sure they will love you for it in the future.
    if he is anything like me I found it hard to talk as a kid when I didn't want/like something so instead my mum came up with this game where she kept little cards and a pen in my pocket and I would draw pictures if I wasn't happy. she would then flick through the pictures a few times a day to make sure I didn't feel uncomfortable.
    I was extremely intelligent as a child so I picked up writing fairly quickly and it grew to be a hobby for me.

    We really started paying attention around 14mo. He wasnt making eye contact, obsessed over the tv and is very flappy. He just turned 2, still undiagnosed, nut his therapists agree he has the symptoms. Hes starting to pick up a few signs, simple words like yay and is paying so much more attention to people. Hes a great kid, loves cuddles and chaos (but is a tad ocd) and seriously lights up every room hes in. Somehow for a kid that doesnt understand social interaction much he is such a ham. Hes an amazing kid and i swear autistic kiddos have superpowers. Im so blessed to have him ❤❤❤

They didn’t say anything but told about it to my boyfriend mother. She called me a yelling at me who do I think I am to say such things and he is completely fine and by telling that I bring a bad omen. I was to nice to respond properly. 3 years later he was diagnosed with autism. Well… again my fault 🤦🏻‍♀️ people are so ignorant

    I didn’t get diagnosed till I was in my early teens. My family never really believed in disorders liked Autism, ADHD, or even like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. They’re the kind to say, “You’re not depressed, you just need to smile more. And pray.” I showed very obvious signs like not playing with my toys but instead sorting them, tip toeing, I didn’t like hugs and kisses, any socks or shoes I wore would cause a meltdown but they were called “tantrums” and I was just “a difficult kid” lol my mom said one day, around the age of 3, she heard me screaming to high heavens. She tried to pick me up to check if I was hurt, but I stiffened like a board and had my head locked all the way back. Apparently I started scratching and hitting her, all while just screaming incoherently. I was thrashing so hard she had to lay me back on the floor, and according to her, I rolled all the way across the floor till I met the wall, then I started hitting myself against the wall. She said this went on for almost an hour. So naturally, she called a priest 😂 And he concluded that an “evil power” has a hold on me and must be “blessed” from my body 🙃I barely remember the “blessing” but I know it involved holy water and two men from the church restraining me while momma cried. Now before ANYONE says I was abused, she was doing the only thing she thought would help because she was scared of what was happening, and it was the ✨ 90s✨I got really depressed in my teens from feeling so disconnected and my mom sought out therapy for me, and her too eventually. With the help of my therapist and psychiatrist, I got my autism diagnosis and she was actually diagnosed ADHD. It took a lot of time, communication, and understanding, but we’ve never been closer. I just wish we had found out earlier, that way my childhood wouldn’t have been so hard and our relationship never suffered from it.

    It’s self-stimulation that has commonly been called “self stimming” or just “stimming.” These days, the vocabulary has been slowly changing and it’s being called autistic stereopathy or stereotypy. However, we ALL have our own types of stimming such as nail biting, drumming your fingers on a surface, or full body movements like rocking or swaying.
    My son, who is now 28 years old, was also diagnosed with autism and ADHD right around his fourth birthday. He also met his milestones on schedule, at 20 months old, he started to regress.
    Thank goodness for my moms help. She had majored in Early Childhood Education. Without her, I wouldn’t have known where to start.
    My son had an IEP from kindergarten until he graduated from high school.
    I had him 17 days before my 21st birthday, and his dad turned out to be a deadbeat.
    I’ve suffered from depression and anxiety since I was about 15 years old, and I was diagnosed with ADD in January, 2023.
    I think it’s because I had assumed I’d be an empty nester by now, but he can’t live on his own. He has a job, but I drive him everywhere. I have no life. Don’t get me wrong, I love my son, but I’d just like to have some “me time” back. I get extremely envious when I see videos of babies, toddlers, and older kids who come across so different than my own son. I never thought I’d be raising a child for my entire life.

      I'm not sure that the vocabulary has so much been changing as that "stereotypy" and "stim" are used in different contexts. The former is more a medical term, and the latter is a colloquial term used in the community.

    Each got in carriers that would feed their focus in science. The fact that they are successful relies totally in the great ability to focus in their interests.
    When someone says he is obsessed with trains, or sicknesses, or cats, or movies, do not say it with a negative connotation.

    Sounds like a similar timeline to me, according to my mom. Ended up being diagnosed at three, probably only because my mom noticed something was up, because girls are often not diagnosed for a while, if at all. I learned for myself at 15 because I realized I was "messed up" and did my own research. Mom ended up casually confirming in conversation when talking about seeing Vaxxed with one of her friends a month and a half later without any prompting from me. Threw me for a loop that she hadn't told me before. She said it was so I didn't develop a complex. Since then, I've made an effort to improve my coping skills with certain situations now that I actually have an idea of what's going on in my brain.
    I'm 22 now.
    The stimming never goes away. I've just learned acceptable ones for when I'm out of the house.
    The bubble never goes away. I got through middle school by mentally relating half of the curriculum to Danny Phantom (one of my first hyperfixations), and people just often have to repeat things to me in general outside of school.
    I was glued to the TV more often than not as a child, but PBS Kids is educational, so it was mostly okay as long as I didn't sit too close and ruin my eyes more.
    I've learned a socially-accepted (as far as I'm aware of, anyway) way of dealing with eye contact: every once in a while, glancing up at someone's eyes for a couple seconds, then looking away again. I often stare at people's mouths, because I can almost sort of lip-read when my brain doesn't want to understand spoken syllables.
    And as for sensory issues, I often have either earplugs or earbuds in my bag, and my glasses automatically tint themselves when I'm outside. And my mom learned early on, when I was mostly nonverbal, to only get me comfortable clothes because I'd get upset if they weren't right. I've mostly just stuck to those types of things for most of my life, though I've since learned how to wear jeans in a way acceptable to me.
    Key aspects of my life have been my ability to problem-solve when things aren't going how I want them to, and to clearly explain what I'm thinking or feeling, so I highly recommend you encourage your child in those respects. If he's like me, any communication might be blunt as Hell, but that might mean he could also benefit from things being explained to him bluntly as well when he doesn't otherwise understand something. However he communicates is likely a good indication of how he understands things.

As a parent, if you feel something is not typical behavior please say something. Don't let the doctors ignore you. Advocate for your child. My son had therapy since he was 2.

    That is almost exactly what we experienced with my Dominic (now 7). My whole family has been demanding for years that is because of the vaccinations that I was insisting he get when he was a baby. But I knew they were wrong. It's just how autism works sometimes. This helped ease my mind so much. Thank you for sharing this story❤❤❤❤.

    I new since my son was 3 months old. At 12 months we visited my mother in law, her 3rd visit seeing my son. And she finally spoke up to say we should have him evaluated. She is an OT and has been working with gifted kids for many years but she was afraid it was too early before that to mention anything. I was not heartbroken when he got the diagnosis, I was relieved that I was gonna finally be able to seek help he needed and he is doing great! ❤ the tantrums at 1 year old were incredibly emotionally difficult but understanding what it might be for him Vs expecting him to act like a typical kid helped immensely with patience.

    My mom wished she'd have got me diagnosed sooner, but she thought it would "go away".
    And then in high-school I got a councilor I trusted, but immediately lost my trust when I brought up I may be autistic, then she brought out a book from like, the 1900's and said if I don't have any of the symptoms in it I wasn't autistic. And when I did relate to the the "symptoms" apparently I just wasn't severe enough. She made me feel so foolish, so me and my mom dropped her right after.

    From an autistic late diagnosed person with am also Autistic wife: Please oh please don't scream at him. Most of the time we hear you, just cause we don't look at you doesn't mean we don't hear you. We just can't answer cause we can't take any more stimuli in at that monet and screaming make the later meltdown so much worse. Have patience with the little bud. What helps is learning non verbar communication, such as sign language. It takes up a different part of the bran and is not as overstimulating as sound.
    There is also a thing called loops, or off brand silicon earplugs: all sizes. He will still hear most but not as loud, they don't hurt the ears and are easy to put in. Get him noise cancelling headphones as well, early please ❤❤ make the bedroom as little as overstimulating as possible. Calm colors, pastels. There are Aerial silks you can buy that hang from the seeling that help with overstimulation. He can go in there and rock in them or swing. It's awesome

    My son wasn't diagnosed until 12 but we knew way before that, like 3 years old. He was stimming by the time he was two, Taught himself to read at 3, and no I'm not kidding. And became utterly obsessed with books at age 3. At 9 years old he took an adult EXPERT Star Wars test for the 501st...keep in mind, it was an adult test, and he was 9.
    He got a 94%!
    He is now 25, mentally 12....and is the love of our life. Dad has his movie & fishing buddy, and he still wants mom's hugs...but can be left alone for short periods of the day and does chores around the house.

    Why would you scream his name 1000 times - and “blame” autism for his meltdowns? Meltdowns are a reaction to overwhelming surroundings - and what could be more overwhelming to a little person than having your mother screaming your name at you 1000 times.
    An autistic life doesn’t have to be full of meltdowns and other signs of extreme stress - but that calls for the parents of the autistic child to educate themselves. Not just scream at the child in frustration.
