Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hello everyone, I spoke on the telephone with my old college roommate this morning who informed me that she believes her nephew is autistic. The sweet little boy is 3 1/2. I asked her what he does or doesn't do that makes her think that he's autistic. Here are the clues then tell me what you think. He does not smile, is not affectionate, looks as though no one is inside his body. He says very few words, he is not potty trained, has a lot of allergies, does not play with other children or toys. The toys he does play with he just lines them up, he likes to do the same things over and over (such as ring the doorbell, push a button on a toy that makes noise repetively), plays with the garbage can (as in push the swinging door and watch it over and over and over and over), if the mom tells him to not go anywhere then he will not move an inch or look left or right but straight ahead without moving a muscle.... I know I'm not a doctor but her whole family believes the child has autism but is scared to say anything to the mom. The mom is very defensive over him (naturally) and always has an excuse for him. The grandmother is also like this and will not listen to any doctor. My friend said that the grandmother was actually kicked out of one doctors office and told to not come back. I really feel for the mom (she is a young single mother trying to make a good life for the two of them) and am praying for her. The mom is finally starting to talk to her grandmother about her son and they believe that she is starting to come out of her denial. I told my friend that there is so much that can be done to help him come out of this autism but the medical community will not give this information. Does anyone know of a doctor in the Kentucky area or even Knoxville Tennessee area that she could go to? Worried for my friend, LeAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 LeAnn, I am not from Kentucky but you could hook her up w/a rescue angel from Generation Rescue for starters. Also, there must be a diagnosis checklist on autism.com or First Signs, in the event that she is still in some sort of denial. If she's open to it, I would refer her to those sites as well as TACAnow.org, Starving Brains book and maybe one of the newer books like Jepson. You're a great friend!

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 LeAnn, I am in Knoxville. Our DAN! is located in Cookeville, until January afterwhich he's moving to Birmingham. It's just over an hour west of Knoxville. Maybe our DAN! would know of someone in KY if he can't personally see this child. He's , MD . If you decide to call I'd ask to speak to his Parent Advisor, Becky. She's got the fastest link to Dr. and I've never in my life met anyone genuinely sweeter. If there's any way they can help, she'll be able to make it happen. You're a great friend for getting involved.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 copy a video of ethan's recovery, put it on disc, and give to your old roommate, she can pass it on, it is a nice way of officially pointing out the symptoms that ethan had from a real perspective litterally, they will never be the same, it will at least show a recovery rather than saying this is what autism is, and what it looks likeTo: mb12 valtrex From: thestorklady@...Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2007 22:02:32 +0000Subject: What would you do????
