Sudden signs of Autism

Nanny ju

Hi

My 3 year old Grandson is so suddenly showing many signs of Autism, we are in shock can anyone help? Can signs be so sudden? He is biting and hitting himself and others and many other behaviours!seems to have many sensory problems

  • Hi Nanny, It could be that your grandson thinks he is in some way responsible for his dad going. Small children tend to think that the whole world revolves around them and that everything that happens connects to them.

    I would suggest lots of love and reassurance and hopefully continued contact with both parents. I would not assume that he is autistic at this stage, he is just hurting inside and unable to tell you about it.

    Yes, talk to his GP and wait and see.

    Best wishes, this is a dificult time for all of you.
