[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is reporting that he had an ASD? I watched his video. It doesn't clearly indicate any of the vocal mannerisms or physical mannerisms that I would associate with an ASD. [/quote] It IS a spectrum you know. Not everyone uses only formal register, stims, or avoids eye contact.[/quote] Exactly. My kid who definitely has ASD appears NT. His speech is like every other NT kid, the stims are occasional and subtle and not noticeable and his eye contact is normal. Some people have preconceived notions about how ASD presents and seem to think you can tell just by looking at someone whether they are on the spectrum which isn't true.[/quote]
