Please could people give me advice on this matter. My one year old son makes little to no eye contact with me. He does not respond to his name or interact with his siblings. He does not play with toys instead he just spins the wheels on cars etc. He is fixated with my hair and can become agitated if i do not allow him to pull it. He does not like the feel 0of things in his hands for example he refuses to hold a wotsit but will wait until you feed it to him.
He used to pat your back imitating the way i would touch him and the aaah sounds i would make. He seems to be obsessed with me and does not want anyone else touching him or nursing him. He has complete meltdowns in hospitals doctors and shopping centres and appears to hate the car.
I am frantic with worry. i cannot think of anything else. i have spoken to my GP who will refer him. what can i do in the meantime to help my son. I am so afraid that i am failing him by not understanding the condition, Could someone please advise me on what it is supposed to be like - i read that it was like being in your own world can someone tell me how i can communicate with him. has anyone trioed the Sonrise Programme - afriend advised me to check it out.
