'Passive' Autism

Michmac

Hi, my 2yrs 7months son has just been diagnosed with 'Passive' Autism. He is a very loving happy boy and also has a twin sister. Just wanted to hear from other parents on their experience of this type of Autism. Any advice/help would be very much appreciated. Thanks :-)

  • Hi Oliverlouis,

    Thanks for your reply. I know what you mean about being in the minority and there is very little information. My son has just been placed into a communication unit in a mainstream nursery after a lot pushing to get him early intervention. He also attends one to one therapy at a local Autism unit which is fantastic. As said before my son babbles constantly and maybe form a word now and again and I'm told this is quite positive. Does your son have speech and if so when did this happen? I have also heard children labelled with 'Passive' Autism' may not bother with what's going on round about them. But to be honest my boy is very bright (we have been told by the doctors at hospital) he does not have a developmental delay and seems to pick up tasks reasonably quickly. He loves to play rough and tumble with his Dad and comes looking for him to start the game. :-)
