How early did you have a feeling your child may have had Aspergers? - Page 2

Midnight_Fairy · Feb 24th, 2010, 06:32 AM

Yeah

I think my son will go down that route in the future, he is very good with Mathematics and Computers. I heard once that a high number or graphic designers and web designers so have ASD? x

Really? Thats interesting! I think my Mum is just worried he'll never be able to get a job because of his ASD but I think that shows otherwise

Course he will

It sounds like he's off to a great start - not to mention there's awesome money in computer design

Hehe cute

Tom's little sis is like that with the Ice Age movies, she's crazy about them

haha they are sweet arnt they.

When my son started assesments and the word autism was mentioned I was shocked and googled (worst thing to do LOL) But he has come on so far and suprised us all. Last august I was able to take him on a 4hr train journey and he was fantastic and no problems at all. I just made sure I was one step ahead of him and prepared him.

Nothing is impossible, One thing is true though and that is that ASD kids REALLY know how to win your heart! X

Just wanted to wish you all the best for the upcoming arrival

My eldest was picked up at his 9 month review, he didnt pass objects from one hand to the other and appeared aloof (he has High Functioning Autism) I also felt the fact he didnt smile by 6 weeks to be relevant as its the first intentional communications (other than crying of course)

I didnt know there was any issues with Oscar untill the health visitor pointed them out to me, I had no other child to compare him with and thought his behaviour was just his personality. I dont know if he has aspergers or is autistic. I do see traits in him now although he doesnt speak yet (he has just turned two) he says odd words somtimes but prefers not to talk. I suppose we just have to wait and see how it developes with him. He does run up and down, closes doors and growls sometimes.
Its odd now though because people say he is a good boy and is very quiet, but I know he is quiet because of the condition. I just argee and say he has always been good

My son is almost 3 & has not been officially diagnosed yet, although it seems to be heading towards PDD NOS... according to one doc.

Early signs for us:

12 mos - Choking on food (still does this more than most kids) & doesn't like different textures of foods

12 - 18 mos. - Falling alot, low muscle tone in legs; Independent - not very "cuddly"

24 mos. - present:

Delay in verbal speech (but understands everything!); Difficulty pronouncing alot of letters; Doesn't like to sing or dance; Very hyperactive; Over stimulated in social settings; Very little pretend play; NO stranger anxiety; Doesn't engage much with peers; Fixates on things; Needs routines; Very good memory; Little things "bug" him (ex. chair out of place - needs to fix it; Cookie breaks - wont eat it, etc.)

My son did have early OCDs come to think of it but I didnt overly think it ws anything to worry about at the time.

He was obsessed with emptying bricks out the box and puttting them all in again etc.

He never had any sleep problems whatsoever but he did like to be rocked to sleep x
