[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 27726, member: 3199"] My 2.5 year old is on the autism spectrum and at first I didn't believe it because he does look you in the eyes and is cuddly. And our pediatrician said there was no way difficult child 2 could be autistic. difficult child 2 was running by 10 months, but his verbal just isn't there. So, we were referred to early intervention. They came out and did an assement and gave us stuff to work on. It just didn't seem to fit to me, so I contacted the autism specialist. I thought I'd go and she would tell me that there was no way difficult child 2 could be autistic. She saw things that I had completely missed. For example, difficult child 2 will look me in the eyes and other family members, but not anyone else. When he respondes to his name he looks in your general direction, but not right at you. He expects me to read his mind. He will want candy and go stand next to it, but he won't ask for it. Then when he has waited a few min. he gets frustrated enough to tantrum. difficult child 2 also loses words. And, his class at church he plays by himself. No they don't have any problems with him because he goes and plays by himself in a corner. He isn't taking toys away and pushing his friends over for toys like the other 2 year olds. He also toe walked and head banged. And I thought I was just going to her to rule out the autism diagnosis. I think sometimes parents are to close to see the symptoms. It would be worth looking into. Can't hurt. Oh the early intervention took us much more seriously after the diagnosis of autism. Now difficult child 2 is getting a speach therapist coming out and is on the waiting list for social skills classes and the waiting list for the autism preschool. There is a year long waiting list for that here. [/QUOTE]
