Being very social and autistic

Hello all,

I have a question for all of you. Our son's shrink says that our son who is four is autistic but has trouble with the dx because of how social he is. He loves to be around people most of the time but will go to his room and sort of leave this world for a while. We don't allow him to do this very often and he is only allowed to be alone for an hour or so and no more when he is like this. But I have a problem with what the doc said. She said that kids with autism are not social. I find this not to be true. At therapy I see plenty of children that are autistic and they are very social.One boy that we got to know is nonverbal like our son but you know that he really enjoys being around you when he sees you. His mother agreed with me that it is simply not true that ALL children with autism are that way.She said that they are all different and they all have different symptoms of it. I am totally confused.

How many parents on here have children that are non social? I heard that it was a myth that ALL autistic children are antisocial so I thought I would ask all of you.

Thank you,

a

That's it! I'm dying my hair blond! Not really since it would really look awful on me blond hair and black eyebrows would not be a good look for me. Maybe just a few blond streaks would work. That I'm willing to try. Kellie

My son always likes the young blonds LOL! Whenever a therapist would come to interview and meet I knew we had a hit first if she was young and had high energy, second if she was blond he was in heaven!! We always joked that he was such a typical male! Older blonds work well but the young cute ones are always his favorites. An interesting note do any of your kids remember everything. can out of the blue mention his past therapists by name. He says Kathy all gone, Jessie all gone, etc.. as well as he can list our cars in the order we had them by the colors he will say white car,red card, black van,etc... Many of these people and cars were from when he was 2 1/2 and non verbal. It amazes me when we run into someone hasn't seen in 5 years and he says their name. Kellie

when Dan was in therapy we never had a male therapist either - although I heard there was a great sensory guy in Naperville at the Pediatric Place - we just lived a bit to far to travel for OT services. We travelled to Elmhurst very very far for speech cause the therapist he had was wonderful - we miss her to this day.

Sounds like Dan is just saving the blonds for the important stuff. We have never been able to get a male therapist. I really wanted to have one but there are so few around here. This year he does have part day with a male teacher and he loves it. This guy is great and his eyes speak.. they are blue and shine with kindness and interest (i'm not being weird, really!). loves his class and I think next year he will be in there more. Kellie

I do believe people with autism can be social. I also have to agree with the blonde thing as I have many students who "prefer blondes". What I see is that many of my kiddos can be social, but that have trouble picking up on the subtle/non-verbal cues and more complex interactions. JMHO!

I think examining things has put me in a great mood! I have been quite silly all day even with a house full of kids. I've been watching the neighbors kids today and it's been fun. Mostly they play with Paige and I've gotten so much done (even spending so much time on-line). I think it is easier for me when I figure out what the problem is and really great when I control it! I have the power LOL! Thanks so much for all the encouragement and for being such great friends. Kellie

Your so right has no trouble when the game is physical, running jumping,chasing but the object of the games sometimes escapes him and forget any game with a lot of language. To him it doesn't matter, there isn't a competitive bone in his body. He just wants to run and play and laugh with the kids. I had to learn to let him just enjoy himself and not worry so much about the rules and that he always loses.. It really depends on the other kids some are great and will include him and some ignore him. We just focus on the ones who want to play with him and have fun. Kellie

THere is so much truth in that! When one stops feeling hopeless/angry/victimized, takes responsibility for the situation and starts taking control of what they can change/do, it can really improve the outlook!

Sharon,

Yes the early intervention here is wonderful. It's not as good now as when we first moved but it's still better then most. Once you hit school age it is kind of hit and miss. I had a very bad school for kindergarten and 1st grade but the new school has been wonderful for the repeat of 1st grade and now 2nd grade. It took 5+ meetings at the old school to convince them he needed to repeat 1st grade and they had no idea how to work with behaviors or really what he needed. Thank goodness this new school was built by our house. It is amazing and supportive. Wish we still lived closer to family but I wouldn't give up his waiver or the school we have now for anything.

Whenever a therapist would come to interview and meet I knew we had a hit first if she was young and had high energy, second if she was blond he was in heaven!! We always joked that he was such a typical male! Older blonds work well but the young cute ones are always his favorites. An interesting note do any of your kids remember everything. can out of the blue mention his past therapists by name. He says Kathy all gone, Jessie all gone, etc.. as well as he can list our cars in the order we had them by the colors he will say white car,red card, black van,etc... Many of these people and cars were from when he was 2 1/2 and non verbal. It amazes me when we run into someone hasn't seen in 5 years and he says their name.

Mother figures I suppose Being very social and autisticHello all,I have a question for all of you. Our son's shrink says that our son who is four is autistic but has trouble with the dx because of how social he is. He loves to be around people most of the time but will go to his room and sort of leave this world for a while. We don't allow him to do this very often and he is only allowed to be alone for an hour or so and no more when he is like this. But I have a problem with what the doc said. She said that kids with autism are not social. I find this not to be true. At therapy I see plenty of children that are autistic and they are very social.One boy that we got to know is nonverbal like our son but you know that he really enjoys being around you when he sees you. His mother agreed with me that it is simply not true that ALL children with autism are that way.She said that they are all different and they all have different symptoms of it. I am totally confused.How many parents on here have children that are non social? I heard that it was a myth that ALL autistic children are antisocial so I thought I would ask all of you.Thank you,a Windows Live™: Keep your life in sync. Check it out.....

My daughter is definately autistic but she got the less PDD-NOS label because she is social. She does have times when she wants to be alone, but NT's are like that too sometimes.

She was diagnosed at KKI.
