hi my names nic and i have a 3yr old lg who we think may have a form of autism

she dosent like change, she hates going out of the house and when we do get her out of the house she will continuously ask to go back home, she holds her hands over her ears with certain noises eg the hoover, she lashes out at me and her dad and sister, she wont wear new clothes unless they have been washed first, she also has a fixation on certain films that she will watch over and over again, she has also got a fixation on one dress that she will wear all the time and when i wash it she will have a bit of a breakdown.

i joined the forum for a bit of advice and help so i look forward to talking to you all

    Well that could be me to be honest!  Your GP can give you a Camhs referall which will start you on the process of diagnosis.  In the meanitime talk to your child's nursery and ask them to be on the look out for certain behaviours as they will be likely asked for their input at some time.  I kept a behavioural diary for my youngest son, so that when we got to camhs I could give them a 'list' of his behaviours.  There's probably lots of stuff that your doing, as parents, already, to help manage your child's behaviou.  Don't forget to list ALL the stuff you do to help manage your child's environment. 

    P.S  It took me three years to get my son to wear underpants in the house.  He's 9 soon and the second he gets home he's in his pants!! Winter, summer, whatever.....pants!! lol x

    Hi nikki2009! People with autism show varying degrees of difficulties in social interaction and in verbal or nonverbal communication. Some don't display any warm or joyful expressions, while others lose social skills. As much as possible, have your daughter assessed by a behavioral specialist for early interventions. Just in case you haven't, we recommend having her checked by a naturopathy expert like Dr. Sundardas. He specializes in natural medicine which is long proven to make the lives of people better in the most natural way possible. Take time to visit Dr. Sundardas' web site for more information.

    Hello everyone

    my fourth son age five has just been diagnosed with autism.  Even thought  I have suspected  for a while, it's so hard when u formally hear it. I have just joined this community in hope to find out more about this and get support. Any comments or advise would  be welcomed and appreciated on how to get past this stage when u first face the fact that ur son has autism 

    thx

    Welcome Nic,

    Your description of your daughter's behaviour suggests that you are thinking along the right lines.  If this is correct, then now is a good time to look into it further, as her transition to school can be made much more comfortable for her if any support she needs is put in place nice and early.

    As a late diagnosed adult, I'm not quite sure how to go about this, but in the first instance, your GP or local NAS group would be able to tell you what services might be suitable where you live.

    Best wishes.
