[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am sorry you are concerned. My son had regressive autism. He was speaking, interacting etc and then quit. I understand your concerns.

However, if the teachers are not experiencing any issues and are not seeing anything, don't get yourself too worked up.

As far as not responding, what is your child doing when he doesn't respond. Is he engaged in an electronic, playing and there is other noise in the room? If I want my child to respond to me, I make all other noise stop and then speak to my child.

In regarding to not responding about school day, I read an article earlier this year (not sure where but I will try to find it) that was for parents of neuro-typical kids and it recommended asking specific questions about your child's day. Example: "Who did you play with on the playground", "what did you and johnny do, run or swings" and then build on those direct questions. Open questions are difficult for kids especially at the end of the day. Heck, sometimes they are hard for us adults at the end of a long day.

Also, think about what you would do if your child did get an autism diagnosis... would you try a holistic approach (diet changes etc) and therapies.. you can always do the holistic stuff yourself with or without a diagnosis. [/quote]
