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

rwhite · Feb 15th, 2010, 19:29 PM

Hi ladies

Just popping over from the Third Tri boards because I'm curious to know when you mummies of Aspergers babies had an inkling that your LO was a little different.

I'm just asking because there's always a chance that our little man will have Aspergers. His dad has a mild form (mainly causes anxiety in him, but he does have little traits here and there) and his dad's youngest sister has Aspergers also. And I have read somewhere that it is more common for boys to have Aspergers syndrome than girls?

I'm not at all concerned, like I said just curious to know when you noticed the earliest signs and what they were.

Thanks for reading!

Hi, I first had concerns about my son when he was about 3. He was a late talker and showed repetitive behaviour. It became more obvious when he started nursery and had to mix with other children. Hope this helps a bit x

I didnt see anyone about my son till he was 2. He develped normally and hit all milestones either early or on time. Normal pregnancy, labour and birth weight. When my son was 2 yrs 9mths they noticed concerns at pre school. I had noticed but with him being my first and never hearing about ASD I had no idea. Mainly just the hyperactivity and lack of speach. I always put it down to him just being a typical boy or something. So looking back I guess differences were mildly obvious at about 18mths x

It will be interesting keeping an eye out and seeing whether my little guy has any symptoms. I'd say his dad definitely did as a toddler, from watching home videos - really hyperactive...well, he still is! Always fiddling with something or other. That and he interacted differently than his sister that doesn't have ASD

I'm sure he's lovely

There really is something so special about kids with ASD (well, people with ASD in general, though I can't say if I've met any adults with it that I knew of). Does Matthew have any particular favourite things? Eilish's (Tom's little sis) are dinosaurs and Pokemon atm

x Was definitely easy picking out her christmas pressies!
