We were clued in when my son was just past 2 years old. Zero speech. Severe tantrums. Poop smearing. Head banging. Lining up toys. Fixation with cars and wheels. Did not gesture as other toddlers do. Nearly nonexistent eye contact. Little interaction with similarly aged children though they were pre...

I'm still intrigued by the need for separate utensils for each section on his sectioned plate. My son insists on a different utensil for each type of food if they are different flavors, like he has to have two spoons if we are having peas and pudding (not together! gross!). I don't see the big deal...

He much prefers the cats to the big dopey dog we have. When big brothers are around, he wants to hang around with them and be one o...

I think the term is "learned helplessness" and it doesn't only manifest itself in kids, whether they are typical or AS. I've seen it in my mom and my husband, as well. My mom wouldn't even pump her own gas for about 10 years, opting to have me or someone else do it for her! Seriously, there are some...

Hi, I am new here. I have a 6 year old autistic son. He is verbal, almost hyper-verbal really. He has trouble understanding things like "When your tummy growls it means you are hungry. When you are hungry, you need to eat. After you eat, your tummy will growl again, but not because it's still hungry...
