Question by PregnantMama: Anyone have a child who is very young and displaying autism signs?
I have an 18 month old who is exhibiting all the key signs of autism. He has been referred to a pediatrician who also thinks he has autism. I am really having difficulty finding ways to help him cope. I have a lot of people helping him, but we haven’t been able to find some real key comfort things to help him.
Does anyone else have any children who were diagnosed with autism young? How did you cope? How did you help your child?

Answer by *Thomas Is Our Autistic Wonder*
Hun you have not really said ‘what’ signs with autism there are various and each depends on the severity of the autism, Thomas <<<<< was three with he was diagnosed here in the UK for some reason they seem to leave children longer than they do in the USA .. Thomas wasn't talking at aged three wouldn't play or interact with his twin sister at all, hated cuddles or being held and played with parts of a toy, now Thomas is 10 he is non verbal and still in nappies/diapers .. we were given ways to cope and help his behaviour buy its best to know what and if in fact you are dealing with autism, the doctors with help you with this when and if you get a diagnoses, at 18 months not many children talk or talk well, but as i say it does depend what other 'symptoms' your son does have
best of luck

Question by Borax L: Autism Signs?
I have a 4 year old cousin named John. We have a big family and I have my own obligations so I don’t get to see them alot, and the last time I saw John was when he was 2. I think he may be showing some signs of autism. But his mother is very young and likes to go out so I don’t think she is catching or wanting to catch anything. He is barely talking he can say obvious things like “mom and dad” but beyond that it varies pretty quick. He doesn’t like being around other children that much either, only our other little cousin that is around his age. Are those signs of autism? What are some other signs? What kind of Doctor should I suggest that he see?

Answer by one fine day
if your cousin has autism he needs to see a neurologist. some signs are hand flapping, not showing affection and over organization. if he color coordinates items and always puts his toys away autism could be the cause. there are a lot of websites dedicated to autism awareness, search them. but most importantly urge your aunt to get help. the earlier autism is caught the better chance john will have of living a normal and productive life. autism cuts people off from the world. they are not able to express themselves and do not show affection for the ones they love. this is a disorder that is being diagnosed more and more every day. every 20 minutes a child is diagnosed with autism. Get your cousin help, and set in place support systems now.
Good luck
