[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all the moms with autistic kids, why is it so offensive to you that OP is concerned about her child's development? She didn't say it was the worst thing in the world if her son has ASD. All the 'experts' tell us that we should 'know the signs' and catch autism as early as we can so intervention can be more effective. Sure OP sounds a bit anxious but she admitted it and it's nothing against you or your children. [/quote]

She sounds more than a bit anxious.  Here are some of the things she said:

[quote] I just feel worried and I'm driving myself crazy reading and just don't know what is typical at this age......

I don't really know what I'm looking for here. I feel ridiculously anxious about this and I feel like I can't even enjoy my baby. I don't even know why I started obsessing about this all of a sudden, but now it's all I can think about....[/quote]

OP said she knew ASD wasn't the end of the world but her reaction says otherwise.  If she doesn't even know what is typical at this age, despite having an older child, ASD isn't the issue, she is.  She doesn't have an SN issue, she has a mental illness that should be addressed with a professional.[/quote]If you think she has a mental illness, all the more reason not to get offended![/quote]

You're right.  Thanks for pointing that out.  I retract my 'offense'.  [/quote]
