signs of autism in toddlers:

Question by BabyQuestions: Autism question: young toddler already showing signs?
I have a young toddler showing some signs of autism already. The pediatrician has brought it up briefly and will prob setup some sort of screening test for it soon. I believe if he has it its not at the highest level.

I personally don’t know a ton about Autism, are there different levels of Autism?

Can it get worse or better with therapy?

What causes Autism and is there any medication to help in the future?

I always thought Autism was another name for a learning disability.

Answer by Anna R
Autism is a severe developmental disorder that begins at birth or within the first two-and-a-half years of life. Most autistic children are perfectly normal in appearance, but spend their time engaged in puzzling and disturbing behaviors which are markedly different from those of typical children. Less severe cases may be diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or with Asperger’s Syndrome (these children typically have normal speech, but they have many “autistic” social and behavioral problems).

It used to be thought that autism is just a fate that you accept.The good news is that there are now a wide variety of treatment options which can be very helpful. Some treatments may lead to great improvement, and others may have little or no effect, but a good starting point would be the parent ratings of biomedical interventions, which presents the responses of over 25,000 parents in showing the effectiveness of various interventions on their own child.

How Common is it? For many years autism was rare – occurring in just five children per 10,000 live births. However, since the early 1990′s, the rate of autism has increased exponentially around the world with figures as high as 60 per 10,000. Boys outnumber girls four to one. In 2007, the Centers for Disease Control reported that 1 in 150 children is diagnosed with autism.

What is the Outlook? Age at intervention has a direct impact on outcome–typically, the earlier a child is treated, the better the prognosis will be. In recent years there has been a marked increase in the percentage of children who can attend school in a typical classroom and live semi-independently in community settings. However, the majority of autistic persons remain impaired in their ability to communicate and socialize.

autism signs:

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
