[quote=Anonymous]Calm down mommy. Let your husband be part of the parenting process too. My oldest knew all the letters, numbers, around 2-3 dozen colors, etc. Doctor was freaked out at the 18 month appt to the point of finding me outside the office following the visit to reinforce that I needed to have DC tested (we didn't). The kid is an older elementary student, exceptionally bright typical kid with a very high IQ and no autistic tendancies. We do have family members on my side though with equally high IQs who are on the high functioning autistic spectrum (aspergers). Ask your doctor, but don't stress and be kinder to your husband about it. If your child is on the spectrum, you aren't going to change anything by stressing and fighting. If your child hasn't shown the other characteristics (lack of eye contact, sensory overload, etc) he is probably fine. In our family, the ones on the spectrum showed cues from a very young age, probably around 6 months. The pieces of the puzzle came together after the diagnosis. It was if everyone had a big aha moment. My child did not show the signs at all.[/quote]
