[QUOTE="ahhjeez, post: 739541, member: 16999"] Hi, I just wanted to say that my heart goes out to you. I could feel the pain in your post. Your son sounds like he is very much on the spectrum. I am in no way a doctor so please take all this with a grain of salt. This is just my opinion. If I'm understanding what you wrote, he regressed at 12 month? Typically loss of skills or regression appears at 15-18 months, but I don't think that's written in stone. For my son, I noticed differences at 10 months and even a bit earlier. At the time I thought he had hearing issues because he would not look at me when I called his name or talked to him. He also wouldn't play with toys. Both my husband and son are on the spectrum. My husband presents as more typically autistic. More textbook. He has huge difficulties reading facial expressions and will often blurt out stuff that is best left unsaid even if its true. He's much more self-aware now since my son's diagnosis. and his own, and has done a ton of work in learning about his autism. Same with my son. If it is at all possible, I would try and get your son to a neuropsychologist who specializes in autism. We go to a place several towns over from us that is affiliated with a large hospital in a major city near me. They specifically treat autism from young children to adults. They have been invaluable. Please be easy on yourself. You sound like you are doing the very best you can in an incredibly difficult situation. I wish you peace. [/QUOTE]
