[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child was diagnosed at age 3.5. His ASD was more noticeable at that age because of repetitive motions, inflexibility, fine and gross motor delay and prolonged emotional tantrums.

At age 5, much of that was the same. The tantrums became less frequent. But, he has also been in intense therapies since diagnosis. So, some continuing motor delays but much improved. Some emotional dysregulation, but he calms much quicker.

The one area that has gotten worse is anxiety. But, as I said, he has a lot of therapies and support in school, at home, from doctors and therapists. Even "high functioning" kids may need a lot of support. Some maybe less. It really depends on how the ASD manifests and the particular combination of strengths and weaknesses your child may have.[/quote]

This was us also. My DS was diagnosed at exactly 3 years old as having severe ASD. 2 years later and intense therapy and doctors and therapist refer to his autism as high functioning. Every kiddo with autism is different. [/quote]
