Creepy | My son is autistic and is about to turn 6. He is verbal, but has significant delays.
We live in an old Victorian home with 3 stories. We bought it a few years ago and are renovating it.
My son told my wife that he is visited at night by someone or something called the "Good Knight."
My son says that the Good Knight... | My daughter’s 8 and non-verbal, she doesn’t really babble but sometimes she’ll make some sounds which you could go ‘well, she’s giving it a go.’
My wife died last year, our daughter was 7 at the time, the first three weeks or so she just screamed a lot. I completely understand, I wanted to do the same. And then one ev... |
10 yr old son developing bad acne--won't let me near him | My boy is quickly entering puberty and he's developing really bad acne on his forehead across the hairline. He has such beautiful wild hair, but I unfortunately had to shave it off because it was covering the area that needs attention. He had a pretty big one last week and I had to do what needed to be done. And he scr... | Don't pop acne pimples. If one looks infected, go see a doctor, but Don't Pop it on your own. Your fingers aren't sterilized, you could end up making it worse via infection, cause significant scarring, and it *will* cause unnecessary pain.
Topical treatments only.
Edit: Changing pillow cases daily can also help. And ... |
10.5 month old signs | hi all, I know 10 months is too young for a true diagnosis but i wanted to point out some signs my son has that have me worried. I have been dealing with horrible PPA and now i have hyper fixated on thinking my son has autism.

- body tenses up often (mainly arms and wrists)

Best of luck., These all sound very normal to me. But, with that said. Go with your gut. Give it a few months. Find a doctor to take you seriously. Best of luck., These all soun... |
13 month old - should I bring this up earlier to my doctor? | I have a 13 month old girl. We saw our doc at 12 months and there were no concerns on her end. So our next appointment is at 18 months.
My girl is definitely a sensory seeker (loves crashing into pillows, putting blankets on her head and running around). Just recently started to occasionally walk on her tiptoes. She ... | Per the psychologist that assessed me. The earliest they can test for Autism is 18 months (I was asking on behalf of a relative not myself). ADHD can be diagnosed as early as 4. So based on that and no combination of typical signs I would say wait for the 18 month. 6 months will not make or break a child's development ... |
15 month old | Hi!
I have a soon to be 15 month old (pre)toddler. I’ve always been stressed out with watching her milestones and I feel she was late on quite a few. I thought that she’s a late bloomer maybe, but I don’t know.
I’ve went out with a neighbour and her 7 month old son and I was astonished by his eye contact and his exci... | I would ask if your GP is a pediatrician and if your GP is using standardized instruments to keep track of development. These would look like packets where you fill out information
In any case I would tell your GP that parental concern is the most sensitive finding in development delays and disorders. Also that delay... |

16 year old Level 1 Advice | My brother was diagnosed with Level 1 ASD quite some time ago but it seems as if the older he gets, the worse he gets. He seems to be shutting down more, almost to the point of being non-verbal, super aware of his surroundings and if someone can tell he is autistic and/or judging him, getting into altercations with his... | I don’t have any real advice, but it sounds like quite a predicament. I do know that most of the time there’s something that’s behind a behavior. I wonder if he was very high masking when he was younger and the social demands of high school burned him out. Puberty can also cause a great deal of change.
Are you able t... |
16m old won't get off my ass. | No matter what I do, and I emphasize that, no matter what i do, my 16m old is always crawling over me. It's like I'm a baby magnet or something. Where I walk (if I even can without tripping over them by trying to start to take one step, which happens realistically 50+ times a day) they go/crawl. Plus more. It feels my ... | Can you put the baby in a pack n play or a jumper?
I know some people are anti screen time, but there are so many great educational kids videos on youtube. Hard to feel guilty when your kids watching the phonic alphabet while you take a bath., It’s okay to keep putting them down and to tell them not right now.

16mo opinions and experiences welcomed | Hi all
Posting about my 16mo son
We are getting an evaluation for ASD next month. I guess I’m looking for personal experiences and if any of this sounds familiar to anyone out here on the interwebs
A little about my son -
He has good receptive language, he listens to simple instructions well. He can point to a bo... | Reminds me of my girl at that age. Does he have an affinity for random household objects and get easily distracted by colorful things / shapes / or have a love of different textures? Seemingly oblivious to the people around him relative to these things? Does he play with toys or just throw them on the ground when he’s ... |
17 yr old cousin doesnt want to do school anymore because he thinks he's grown. What to do? | For context, he lived with his dad's side and mostly his grandparents and was immensely spoiled growing up. He just turned 17 and thinks he is 18 and doesn't feel the need to go to school, he just wants to stay home but the underlying issue really is that he just doesn't like getting up and walking to classes, he was u... | I guess the question goes beyond school to what is the long term goal? What is needed to achieve that goal and what is in the way?, Well, where I am, that's considered old enough to drop out, but I think you need to figure out what his career goals are and if school would serve them., All you can do is encourage your c... |
18 month old diagnosed with ASD following M-CHAT | Hi all, worried mom here. My 18 month old son was recently diagnosed with Level 1 ASD after failing the M-CHAT assessment. I'm sad, confused, and trying to deal with this new reality. His pediatrician recommended we start with private speech therapy asap and that we enroll him in daycare (he's been staying with my mom ... | The M-CHAT is a screener, not an assessment, so should not be the basis of a diagnosis. Are you sure this is a diagnosis and not a referral to Early Intervention or a developmental pediatrician?, My pediatrician said he cannot diagnose. I had to do the ADOS assessment, then once he reviewed those results he would be co... |
18 month old stopped babbling | I have an 18 month old daughter and we got her an ASD diagnosis about two months ago. When she was around 10 months old she could mimic mama but stopped doing that. She'd pretty consistently been babbling dadadadayayyagagaga (not mimicking or referring to my husband) but stopped doing that two weeks ago and has not ma... | It’s hard to say. My kid has never stopped babbling sounds. He’s 5., My 3yo nonspeaking daughter only babbled for a short time during her first year. Then she babbled for another couple months around her second birthday. She was never able to say dada: only mama and baba.
She currently communicates with hand-leading,... |
19month old nurses when I am trying to teach her. | So I put Ms Rachel on YouTube pretty often, hoping to teach my toddler how to point, sign or say basic words since she does none of these things. She seems into it and smiles for a while, eyes looking from me to the TV and back as I try to mimic what ms rachel is doing to show my toddler this is what we are supposed... | [deleted], My son is now 6 and he is sensitive to certain loud noises and certain types of background noise. We were unaware of this when he was younger.
It seems like something about the show is too much for her. Perhaps it’s the bright lights or the sounds/music. Try and follow her lead. She doesn’t like Ms. Ra... |
19yr Autistic Brother - Shopaholic - How to help him stop? | Hello all,
​
I'm an older sister to an autistic & adhd brother, who's turning 20 this year. Our father passed away when he was 13 and had been the main carer that he clung onto, however, my brother had grew up with the bad habit of throwing tantrums to beg for my dad to buy him something and my father gave in... | I'm not sure if you are looking for tips in teaching financial management to autistic adults, if you are then this response won't help and so I apologise in advance.

2 year old head banging against his crib | My two year old had started rocking himself to sleep somewhere around 15 months but which was fine but over the past few months it’s gotten more intense and he’s started banging the back of his head into his crib while doing it and at first it wasn’t too hard but it’s progressively gotten worse. He’s developed a small ... | There are some crib bumpers available on amazon. There are also helmets made out of padding if you want to try that temporarily.

2 year old possible autism | We haven’t been formally diagnosed as his pediatrician thinks he is to young but having only been referred out to speech therapy as he babbles but still says no words. From what I can tell he will respond to his name when he wants does look you in the eye when he wants to 50/50 on responding to his name. Lots of hand f... | Does your child point? When he is experiencing something amazing, does he look at your face to see your reaction? You mentioned that he "inspects" toys, my son wanted to spin the wheels of cars or set his face down to ground level to see toys from a different angle, that kind of thing. He still doesn't do imaginative p... |
