Could it be a form of autism?

[Guest guest]

I have a friend with a 5yr old daughter. She apparently acts ok as

long as she is home or with family. But she will not talk in school to

her teachers and she has no friends because she won't talk to anyone.

It's to the point that it's affecting her grades in school. Considering

we are halfway through school one would think that the kids would get

accustomed to their teachers or at least the kids and start to open up

at some point. But not her. She won't talk to the teacher at all and

she hasn't made any friends because she won't speak to anyone.

I don't know all the details like if she has certain mannerisms or

anything, but she asked me to do some research about the not talking to

people and everything I've searched has led me to autism.

Is it possible?

There are supershy children . And some of them take a long time to feel safe and free to participate. What they see at home is most important; so it seems to me.

There is also a rare anxiety disorder called selective mutism - you can google their home page. Marcisunrose101@... wrote: There are supershy children .

there is def super shy kids ,there is also social phobia disorder which is extreme shyness to the point people avoid places etc.... shyness isnt always a sign of autism look at the symptoms signs of autism if the shyness aspect is the only thing i would not think it autism. but with out an actual dr you wont know for sure . so id just get her looked at.some kids can also have selective mutism which is basically where they can talk but are choosy where and with who they talk with .instead of worrying and researching and scaring your self get her evaluated by a pro and go from there good luck Vickie WwW.SparkleTags.Com----- Original Message ----From: "sunrose101@..." <sunrose101@...>Autism and Aspergers Treatment Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 11:31:08 AMSubject: Re: Could it be a form of autism?

my husband was this kind of kid. his teachers were so frustrated with

him. he has social anxiety now. but my son never warms up to the

teachers. year after year and he has aspergers, I think you should ask

this mom if this child had been in school before? its very hard to go

from a stay at home child to being thrust into the cold cruel world of

school..

Hi, interestingly I was just looking up Selective Mutism when

just wrote. This is also what came to my mind as well.  http://www.anxietynetwork.com/spsm.html

Signs’ video on Autism Speaks

I have a 15 yr old son who is NOT AS, but is super

shy.It has affected him in many aspects. Getting him

into a social skill class was helpful.
