[quote=Anonymous]At a few days old, screamed until red-faced when nursing didn't work out, could not be consoled. The lactation consultant said she'd never seen such an easily frustrated baby. He was really unresponsive to consolation and once he got upset he couldn't calm down. My friend with an HFA child my son's age said her baby was kicked out of the hospital nursery because he was "too disruptive." Both our kids had unusual sensitivities in toddler hood. My son's first word was "Bright!" as in, that light is bothering me, it's too bright. Our ped was utterly useless and the day after my son was diagnosed (by a dev ped after a full assessment) we were in for a routine appt and the ped argued that ds did not have autism and he could just tell. FWIW, both my son and my friend's son are doing very well in late elementary school, academically strong and socially appropriate if a tad quirky, but well liked by peers. Good luck![/quote]
