[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can a child meet all the milestones and have ASD? That's impossible. OP, I'd wait till he's two before I would relax. There is a regressive autism.[/quote] Because it is a spectrum. The avg age for being diagnosed with ASD/Level 1/Asperger's type is ~10 yrs old. And a significant number are never diagnosed or diagnosed as an adult.[/quote] Thanks, that's in the back of my mind, too. FWIW, an expert told me that those people would have been diagnosed as toddlers today. Parents didn't know to look for signs like pointing, etc.. Ten years ago even they weren't doing M-CHAT at checkups, so it's no wonder that people with mild ASD weren't diagnosed until later, or never. [/quote] Pediatricians are doing M-CHAT at checkups? That's a great idea! /s/mother of a ten year old and a twelve year old[/quote]
