Hi everyone .
my little boy is 3 . He has been doing strange movements since he was 6 mnths old. The doctors did EEGs to test for epilepsy and we have been passed round from neuro to community paeds up to now. As the years have passed Elliot's movements changed and he now does a lot of finger weaving and pacing back and forth and intense movements where his mouth tenses etc. He has lots of obsessuve ways and thrives on routine ... Other than that he is a good communicator .. maintains eye contact and can parallel play to a degree . He prefera adult company or older children but will have short bouts of olay with his age group. the doctors now are saying that the video clips of his movements / pacing are classically autistic ... They are going to come see him at his pre school and go from there for a diagnosis . I wonder is it still possible he could have asd even though he is able to socialise etc. Hope some one can help. And thanks for reading ! X
