Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 he is an english actor and more than that its liked with sucesss thats him have a look at the picture thomas harris From: Carolyn <charper777@...>Autism and Aspergers Treatment Sent: Wednesday, 15 July, 2009 4:23:07 AMSubject: Re: Diagnosis Hi, I have a little grandson who was kind of slow getting started. When he was in his 3 year class he did not speak very clearly or very well. Now that he is almost 5 though, next week, he speaks very well. My daughter never did agree to getting him evaluated because we figured he was shy and would catch up in time and didn't want him labeled. His first teacher was very pushy and wouldn't shut up about it and was kind of irritating. He isn't too good at coloring yet but can write his name Lucas, figure he will grow in his skills to write and color. He gets along o.k. with other children now, used to be too shy to play with them. He does have some odd quirks though, he is IN LOVE with trees for instance, when we go out he wants to walk up and touch trees, just insists, and here in my house he takes all my plants, I have quite a few fake plants, ferns and such and he likes to line them up on the counter and just look at them. He is also deathly afraid of spiders again, did this once before and absolutely refuses to go on the swing set outside. However he used to be terribly afraid of water, screamed bloody murder in the tub as the water went in, and even sitting in it he would shriek at hair in the water, etc. but now he goes in the big kids pool and bounds around up to his neck and doesn't have a worry, even if there are sometimes bugs in there. Used to he absolutely REFUSED to go in the door of the public pool, would have nothing to do with it, was really hysterical, but now he goes right in and swims away with the other kids, well bobs around, can't swim yet. At any rate he is a smart little kid, very alert and observant, just a little different we think, not sure for the good or the bad yet, think mostly for the good. Give him time, that is what we did anyway, and he sings and talks fine now, is really quite creative sometimes and is his own little man, has his own mind and stands up for what he believes.. Firmly. I kind of like that actually. Carolyn in Oregon Diagnosis Hi I'm new to the group and was hoping someone has a child similar to mine. Trying to figure out why he is delayed has been such a challenge.he is 3 1/2 years old and has been with Early Steps and Fiddlr. All of his therapists that he worked with as well as his pre-school teacher say that they don't feel that he is autistic or even on the spectrum...though his teacher did feel that he probably has Sensory Processing Disorder, though only slight.My question is what can it be if not autism? He is 2 years behind in his language. He is also pretty delayed with fine and gross motor skills. He has social issues...shuts down in unfamiliar settings, and just recently started screaming when someone he doesn't know says hello. His coloring is way behind...all he can do is scribble.Basically he is like a 2 year old even though he is almost 4.He does have great eye contact, has real connections with people,and his comprehension and language is getting better every day. Though, way behind, he seems very intelligent.Sound familiar to anyone? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Access 7 Mail on your mobile. Anytime. Anywhere.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Getting a diagnosis can be difficult. We always knew there was something different about our son. We started in Birth To Three at 8 weeks. He was in special needs pre school. He was seen at Yale when he was 2 1/2. And still no one could pinpoint it. I kept asking people if he was autistic and got no, no, no (no he makes good eye contact, no he's social, no this, no that.) We didn't get his official diagnosis (High Functioning Autism, ADHD, CAPD) until he was nearly 8 years old. Aspergers Syndrome and High Functioning Autism are harder to diagnose and it usually happens at an older age. (the basic difference between the two, btw, is if there was speech delay). If your gut tells you that something is going on, something probably is. Getting the diagnose may take longer. Has he had a full neuro-psych exam? BTW, my son has some very high peaks, and some valleys. His IQ is hard to score because of his attention issues,but he basically runs the gamut from around basic skills at 110 to 136 (in language), which is gifted. BTW, my son scribbled until well into first grade--he just did not care about coloring. By 2nd grade he was drawing paneled comic strips. Go figure. If it's Aspergers/HFA (and it sounds possible) you probably won't be able to get a firm diagnosis quite yet. But stick with it--your gut tells you the truth. Fortunately we were getting services all along, even though we could not get the label. For that I am grateful.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yes it does. My daughter is 4 she can not talk. My daughter was the same way your son is.The peds doctor delayed everything for my daughter. I told him she is not walking at her normal age group.He pushed it away she will walk he said.Ok 3 years had passed she was barley walking. I asked him the same questions all parents asked is it Autism. No she just a slow learner. Well I new that my other daughter that is 8 walked,talked,feeding her self as well as potty trained by 24 mths. Well I did research on my own got phy.appointments,therpy,and well my dignoise was right she is Autism. Now my daughter is delayed on everything she can not talk,she can't feed her self,she is 24 hour total care. Which Ithink all of this could had been caught early instead of late. So the way you describe your son sounds like the same way my daughter is. Do some research get your own appointment with peds that specizle in this disabilty. You might be sursprised to learn that you over corrected the doctor.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 This sound like your grandson just had some delays.He sounds to me like he is pretty much like the average curious child with some dynamics. I've seen some little ones in the preschool that had some strange fears and outgrew their fears. I'm so glad your grandson is well now.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Marie That is who diagnosed our son the ped neurologist. Our pediatrician suspected it but sent us to the neurologist for a check see. He ran a ton of blood tests to rule out a bunch of things but he had 7 of the 12 characteristics of Autism. Wish I knew where that list was I had it once but in my now old age I can't find anything. Sharon From: marie_elaine1357 <marie_elaine1357@...>Subject: Diagnosisautism Date: Wednesday, September 30, 2009, 11:39 AM Can a neurologist diagnose autism? We just saw one for my daughter (2) for delays to see if she had a neurological problem. He said no, her delays were from neglect when she was in the orphanage. I adopted her from Vietnam when she was 10 months old. We are going back in November because he ordered a CT of her head to see if her sutures are still open because her forehead is narrow. He said it's purely a cosmetic thing. He didn't say anything about her having autism. We have an appointment with a developmental pediatrician in Dec. to see if she has autism. This doctor is 2 hours away and I'm wondering if I could just ask the neurologist next time we go and cancel the appt with the dev. ped. By the way, her regular pediatrician never raised this concern, it was her physical therapist.Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Marie a nuerologist can diagnose autism but I would still get a second opinion. Our first diagnosis came from a neuro. He said Caleb did not have autism. To make a long story short he told me Caleb would be in prison by the age of 18. We got a second opinion from a psychologist. His diagnosis is severly autistic with characteristics of asperger's.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 My son's doctor always told me any delays were due to the fact he was born 5 weeks premature. We got ours from a psychologist. The pedatric neurologist we saw tested for fragile X and chromosome abnormalities. Ours did not test for autism, but did confirm a lot of son's behaviors as being from his autism. Hope this helps.
