[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was diagnosed autistic when I was 24. Your child might or might not be autistic. You might find out soon or you might find out later. The most important thing is to relax, love your baby, and take him as he is. Support his needs, whatever they might be and everything will turn out okay. It's normal to be worried, that's was love does to you unfortunately. But since you can't change his neurology anyway I do believe the most important thing is to work on your fear of an autism diagnosis. Or any "special needs" diagnosis for that matter. Read some blogs or twitter feeds from actually autistic people and you will soon understand that an autism diagnosis really isn't anything to worry about. Especially with the way you describe your son he sounds like he will be just fine.[/quote] Thanks for your input! I find it really interesting and cool to read about how some autistic kids experience their type of play as richly rewarding despite it bothering the adults. [/quote]
