[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s typical. My DD is almost 4 and has them still—though not as many as you list maybe one every couple of days when she’s overly tired or stimulated. [b]She has ASD (subtle presentation).[/b] If it’s just meltdowns, perhaps parent training or Pcit like someone else mentioned above. But if there are other issues present—problems around social skills for example, some sensory seeking behaviors, rigidity or inflexibility—then the parents should get an eval.

Since this is your nephew you will need to tread carefully. Parents may already be pursuing things you don’t know about, and even with the best relationship with your sibling, it could be a difficult conversation.[/quote]

Who’s diagnosing autism at 3years old?[/quote]

Uh. Plenty of places? The average shoe of diagnosis is about 3.[/quote]

Age not shoe. But anyways I’m the poster with the ASD DD. She was a late talker (slight receptive/expressive delay/gestalt processor) and had difficulty making eye contact. That was pretty much it. She got diagnosed at Children’s National. [/quote]
