Need advice! Are these signs of autism or just being a kid??

kar2016

My partner is undiagnosed but may be on the spectrum, and I am trying to decide if we should look into this further. 

Here are some of his behaviors as a child, do they point to autism or are they just “normal kid behavior”? These occurred in him when a toddler, but the tantrums and strong will remained through school year and longer. 

- he used to eat stones 

- refuse to wear shoes age 1-2

- threw huge tantrums and would stubbornly refuse to comply to his mum 

- stubborn and strong willed, had a mind of his own 

- when he wanted something he could make it happen

  • These are all typical atypical things children do and some excellent personal qualities. many people would envy the ability to make things happen!

    I am not sure what problem you are trying to solve? There is no evidence your H is autistic, but being autistic is not a problem that need solving, it is just being part of diverse humanity.
